About this app

Chord ai uses recent advances in artificial intelligence (ai) to give you the chords of any song automatically and reliably. You won't need to look for the chords of a song on the web anymore!

Chord ai listens to the music played from your device, from any video/audio streaming service or played live around you, and detects the chords instantly. Then it shows you the finger positions to play the song on your Guitar, Piano or Ukulele.

It is a great tool for a novice to learn his favorite song and for an experienced musician to transcribe the details of a song when rare chords are played.

Chord ai includes:
- Chord recognition (more precise than all other apps)
- Beats and tempo detection (BPM)
- Tonality detection
- Lyrics recognition and alignment (karaoke-like alignment)

Chord ai has a FREE version, enabling the recognition of basic chords:
- major and minor
- augmented, diminished
- 7th, M7th
- suspended (sus2, sus4)

In the PRO version, you can store playlists, and backup on your drive, and the chord recognition has more precision. It provides an optimal finger position and recognizes thousands of advanced chords such as:
- power chords
- half-diminished, dim7, M7b5, M7#5
- 6th, 69th, 9th, M9th, 11th, M11th, 13th, M13th
- add9, add11, add#11, addb13, add13
- 7#5, 7b5, 7#9, 7b9, 69, 11b5, 13b9,
and combinations of the above! (such as 9sus4, min7add13 etc.)
- chord inversions such as C/E are also included

Chord ai also comes with a massive library of chord positions for guitar and ukulele players. It is the ultimate guitar learning tool. Guitar tabs are not yet supported but it will come eventually.

Chord ai even works offline and it is full privacy preserving. You don't need an internet connection (unless you want to play a song from some video or audio streaming services).

How does Chord ai work? Chord ai can track the chords of a song in three ways:
1) Through your device microphone. Any song playing around you, or played by your device, is analyzed through your device microphone and the chord positions are shown in real time. You can go back in time and replay the song with the chords displayed on a timeline.

2) For audio files that you have on your device, Chord ai will process the file in a few seconds chordifying this whole song at once.

3) Chord ai is compatible with the common audio and video streaming services.

This is a must have app for guitar enthusiasts. However, the Android version is severely lacking compared to the iOS version. For example, there is no metronome and the capo feature cannot be set at per song level and is hidden in a settings menu. I paid for the Pro version but doesn't add much and still pales in comparison to the iOS version. There also used to be a very useful feature which allows you to export a song in MP3. It now exports to a useless ai file. Please bring that feature back!

It is one of my best friends in order to play my ukulele new songs, however is very in unstable app since the update of July 4th, it crushes very often, sometimes if I save a song, it plays something different. Also, it tends to show blank notes in the midle of a song, very frustrating. Jus today, oh it's not able to play a single song, it keeps crashingā€¦.Now the song are not accessible. Please fix it, I love this app.

I think when the chords are simple then the A.I gets the job done but I've noticed in the world of jazz that can get really messy/foggy, even for the human ear. For example maybe there could be a feature where we could reduce the vocals in a song to hear instrumental more? because sometimes the voice sings a different melody line. Still very impressive app. Might be good to see the if the songs chord progressions like, I-III-VI-v extra.

Thanks for your feedback. We agree that tabs are great but we think this should be the job of another app. Tabs would rely on a different technology and we decided to focus here on chords, we are working hard to make it precise and efficient. Is there anything we can do to improve chord transcriptions specifically?
