Klangio

What is Klangio?

Klangio is an AI tool that transcribes music into notes in seconds. Musicians can edit and download transcriptions in formats including Sheet Music, MIDI, MusicXML, and GuitarPro files. The AI is built to accurately capture melodies, chords, rhythms, and other musical details, and any needed adjustments can be made manually. A free tier is available before upgrading to a Pro Subscription, which unlocks additional features and download options.

The company was founded in 2021 by Sebastian Murgul and Alexander Lüngen, with the goal of empowering musicians worldwide through AI. Its team combines expertise in music theory, audio processing, software development, and AI research.
