Songscription launches an AI-powered ‘Shazam for sheet music’


A small company called Songscription launched last week with AI models that automate music transcription, turning an audio file of a song into sheet music

“We hope to make playing music more enjoyable,” Andrew Carlins, CEO of Songscription and a student in Stanford’s MBA/MA in Education program, told TechCrunch. “Since our platform allows users to edit the scores, we position ourselves as an augmented music notation software that helps people speed up the process of transcription,” Carlins said. In order to get the training data necessary for creating this kind of AI model, Songscription works with some musicians who were willing to share or sell their piano performances and sheet music.
