Note Recognition - Convert Music into Sheet Music
The note analyzer works with pitch detection and frequency analysis (like FFT Fast Fourier Transformation for example) and is perfect for musicians (especially vocal and guitar or piano players). The note analyzer listens to your music, analyzes it's pitch and converts your music back into an alternative sheet music. You can use it to detect the notes of your songs (note identification, the app helps you creating a transcription), validate the pitch of your voice, sing into the microphone and use it as a vocal trainer or to transcribe your songs while playing along with your guitar (or whichever instrument you are playing). And of course, you can also use the note recognition app as a simple audio / voice recorder.
This note detector won't extract 100% of the played notes but depending on the quality of the signal the note detection algorithm will do a good job and will give you useful sheet music suggests. Because the detector can't separate multiple instruments you will get the best results if just one instrument is playing simultaneously or if you record your voice without any background music. Also, you should place your phone in front of your instrument, your voice or your speakers to improve the detection quality.
Please note that the note recognition algorithm performs intense mathematical calculations and it will take some time to analyze your recorded audio.
To be fair, here's what this app is NOT able to do:
Chord recognition
-----------------------------
This app has no specific chord recognition algorithm and therefore won't detect any chords! Don't play multiple notes simultaneously!
Separation of multiple instruments
-----------------------------
The note recognition can't separate multiple instruments. If you record multiple instruments playing simultaneously you will get bad detection results!
Live note recognition
-----------------------------
This app is not able to show you live note recognition results. Instead, it will take some time to perform the frequency analysis and show you the results.
Real sheet music
-----------------------------
This app is not able to show you real sheet music. Instead, it works with an alternative sheet music displayed at the screenshots.
100% match percentage
-----------------------------
This app won't detect 100% of the played notes and there will also be wrong detections. But depending on the quality of the input signal it will give you useful suggests!
The audio speed change functionality provides two music speed factors: 2x and 4x (as slow as normal). If you use this functionality, the note recognition app will zoom into the music score to make it easier for you. Mostly, it's recommended to change music speed if you want to analyze very fast songs because the sheet music gets illegible. Also, by changing the speed of your audio record you'll be able to identify very fast notes easy by ear.
Having bad note detection results sometimes? Try to open the settings and adjust the detail level at which it shall detect notes and convert music into notes.
The note detection was tested with guitar, piano and vocal but should work with every instrument as long as it plays notes above B1 (61,7 Hz) and convert music to sheet music.
Upcoming updates:
- A web app where you can upload your analyzed sheet music, edit it and convert it into MIDI.

I would suggest that if it's possible to show the notes names, not just showing them on the stave. Not everyone has music theory or know how to read music. Much like guitar Tabs. Great concept this app. Hope it works well after I have tried it out properly.
I'll be nice. Don't waste your time! This ain't it. 1) 15 second record time for the trial! 2) "these aint notes!" Some bars trying to pass themselves off as sheet music! 3) I'm outta here! This ain't it, kiddies!!
Kind of bad at its job but it works well enough I guess. Just add a few more accessibility features because a lot of beginner musicians have trouble with the everything.
Doesn't work properly. It shows little green boxes, not actual notes. That's worthless for playing your own pieces after you've composed.
Not free. Trial periods are worthless! Never mentioned trial periods in promotion of this app that is obvious. That makes this a bait and switch deal. Buyer beware! If they will pull this at the start, whats to say what they will do after they get your money.
I think it gets kind of close, but 8 notes will go by and it'll only show like 2 so. kinda feel like it'd be faster by ear.
This thing barely works!!! This is one of the WORST apps i have downloaded!!! 0 stars people! 0 stars!! But it has to be at least one star, but if it didnt, i would have put 0. ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Not free. I wish it was notes thought I'd get the actual whole notes, half's , Rests and what not. Fun to play with but not paying for it.
Detection of simple note progressions works like a charm. Have tried more complex stuff. I dig it. I friggin dig it.
Not the best ever. Hard to understand without actual notes. Only shows green lines.... ๐ฌ
Trial version is too limited to find out what potential the app really has. So I UNINSTALLED and went for another one.
Doesnt give a great description on the notes its providing with, just symbols/octaves I want C D E F F# not to sound like an imbecile but that would be easier to read.
Pretty good. It picks up the humming as well and put in music notes
Wish i can give zero stars...everything doesn't work at all and just a waste of your time and space.
Terrible format, not correct and doesn't record voice notes
It works okay but the interface is a little awkward.
Recognized the first note and decided the rest weren't too important, even with very clear audio.
I don't mind the green and yellow boxes. The problem is they don't actually fall on the intended correct note. I
3 stars cuz the idea isn't bad, and I hope some day I'll create a code to a program greater than this one...b'cuz the idea is not bad.
It works. It would be cool if it had the option to see the chords in a piano or a guitar.
Doesn't do anything. Just shows message "preparing app record" forever.
Really good just wish it would detect an instrument from the songs so I can play them cause I play saxophone and I want to learn songs
Trail version, only work for 15 sec., can't even save.
worked pretty well can't believe this even exists...only tried trial version so far but very helpful
this is not praxticle abd doesnt document the timing of notes but boxes where notes are
trying to buy full version i clicked link from app menu it takes me to download app but then Google play shuts down.
Very nice for songs written in head, to bring to notes.
Awesome! Wish the record time was longer, though.
so far so good. in the paid option can i down load it into sheet music?
I could get over the fact that it uses colored bars of varying lengths, if only those bars were accurate. I could even forgive the phantom notes it somehow hears, if only it weren't multiple notes in each measure. There is a chance it will hear your notes and show them correctly, but that's such a rarity, and the staff is so cluttered with notes you didn't play that you're better off using pen and paper.
