AudiTranscribe is an open-source music transcription application.

Features

AudiTranscribe was built to assist you in transcribing music pieces.

• Convert supported audio files into spectrograms for easier transcription.
• Play notes alongside the music piece to get a “feel” of what notes are being played by clicking on the appropriate row on the spectrogram.
• Get a sense of how the notes are arranged in the song.

History / Why make AudiTranscribe?

I started work on AudiTranscribe way back in November 2021. I used Flask and my web-design skills to make a rudimentary version of AudiTranscribe. The old version of AudiTranscribe which was written in Python can still be found here.

At some point, I decided that making a web-application to perform essentially local computations was a daft idea, and so shifted to Java to work on the next iteration of AudiTranscribe. This was formally started on 20 February 2022, and continues to this day.

I made AudiTranscribe because I found transcribing music by ear hard. Tiny details in music pieces may be left out, and it takes practice to properly transcribe notes from a song. AudiTranscribe was created to ease this process and allow the average person to find out the notes of their favourite songs. Also, professional music transcription services cost a lot, especially if you plan to use the transcription service a few times over a year. In that case, the cost of these services (which range from $40 to $120) are not worth it. AudiTranscribe is an open-Source and free alternative.
