MuScriptor

Purpose: MuScriptor transcribes recordings into MIDI and sheet music.
Outputs: The hosted service provides MIDI, sheet-music PDFs and guitar-tab PDFs for download.
Audio formats: The web demo accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, AIFF and Opus files.
Instruments: It can transcribe voice, piano, guitars, bass, strings, brass, woodwinds, drums and other instruments.
Instrument targeting: Users can specify expected instruments to improve transcription accuracy.
Tabs and notation: Fretted instruments such as guitar and bass produce tablature alongside standard notation, and the system does not write chord symbols.
Integrations: MusicXML output can be edited in MuseScore, Sibelius or Guitar Pro.
Local deployment: The same web UI can be self-hosted with `uvx muscriptor serve`, and transcription is available through a CLI and Python API.
Platforms: The repository documents Linux, macOS with Apple Silicon, Windows GPU use and Intel macOS support.
Model variants: MuScriptor publishes small, medium and large variants with 103M, 307M and 1.4B parameters respectively.
Local requirements: Local use requires Hugging Face authentication and acceptance of the CC BY-NC 4.0 model license.
Security and privacy: Uploaded audio is transcribed on the server and not kept afterwards; running locally keeps audio on the user's machine.
Accuracy limitation: The service says it works better on acoustic and guitar music than electronic music and is not perfect.
Support: Bug reports and feedback can be sent to [email protected] or submitted as GitHub issues.
Price from: Free
