Klangio

What is Klangio?

Klangio is a suite of AI music transcription tools that converts recorded music into editable notation. Musicians can record a performance, upload an audio file such as an MP3, or submit a YouTube link to generate notes from the audio.

Its central product, Klangio Transcription Studio, handles full songs with multiple instruments. Dedicated apps serve specific instruments, while related tools support printed sheet music scanning and piano arrangements. The suite helps musicians move from a recording to a score they can review, edit, share, or use in music production.
