Import Songs with SongSight AI!

Guitar Notebook can import your paper notebook songs and favorite song sheets with the power of OpenAI Vision!

  1. Take photos of song pages from notebooks, song sheets, or any source, and add them to your photo library. You can also grab screen shots on Mac, iPhone, or iPad of songs you’ve purchased digitally then import them into your photo library.

  2. In Guitar Notebook select up to 5 photos representing one song, in the correct page order, in the photo browser. (Tip: Pinch to zoom if you can’t see enough detail on your photos).

  3. SongSight will scan your selected photos, extracting chord diagrams, lyrics, and the chord names above lyrics. This will take about a minute per photo.

  4. Boom! Check out your song page.

Works great with:

  • Handwriting or Printed Text

  • Printed chord diagrams

  • Lyrics and chord names

  • Song Title and Artist

It is truly amazing with handwriting recognition, in our testing so far (even our terrible handwriting).

With printed chord diagrams it gets anywhere from 90-100% accuracy. The clearer the chord diagrams the better the results.

It has trouble with hand-drawn chord diagrams, so expect a lot of errors there.

It does not currently support guitar tablature or standard notation (treble/bass staff).

If you select photos it doesn’t understand, such as landscapes, people, non-song material, or unsupported song content, it will be ignored.

Guitar Notebook does not keep your photos, and neither does OpenAI.
