Tips for best results

Use files or URLs you have the rights to use. Clean, high-quality audio with clear vocals gives the best separation and transcription. Live recordings and DJ mixes are noisier and may need manual fixes.
  • Choose the highest-quality version of the video when multiple are available
  • Songs with clear vocals transcribe more accurately
  • Longer songs take proportionally longer to process
