What Violin2Notes is
Violin2Notes uses AI to turn recordings of violin, viola, cello, and double bass into sheet music, MIDI, and MusicXML. You can upload audio, paste a YouTube link, or record in the app; it can transcribe string parts even when other instruments are playing. The editor lets you adjust notes, timing, and layout before exporting PDF sheet music, quantized or unquantized MIDI, or MusicXML. Piano Roll mode provides an interactive way to view and play along with a transcription. Free demos can be repeated and cover the first 20 seconds of an audio file, YouTube video, or in-app recording, with a PDF preview. Pro allows 50 full transcriptions per month, each up to 15 minutes. The listed monthly plan is $14.99 a month; the annual plan is $6.24 a year, shown as an equivalent monthly cost with annual billing. The web, iOS, and Android apps sync transcriptions automatically, according to the maker. It says results work best with clear recordings focused on strings and can be corrected in the editor.
