The easiest way to find a song is to remember the lyrics and google it, for those that can’t remember the lyrics, especially if it is a song in a foreign language, these apps and services might help you identify them. Here are 8 the best music recognition services that can help you discover the song you’ve been searching for.
1. Google App
100% Free | Find a Song by Humming or Singing
Google’s music recognition technology in the Google App is by far my favorite app when it comes to finding music. I dare say it is more accurate and with their huge database in YouTube, it is very accurate. When you hum a melody into Search, their machine learning models transform the audio into a number-based sequence representing the song’s melody. Their models are trained to identify songs based on a variety of sources, including humans singing, whistling or humming, as well as studio recordings.
So next time you can’t remember the name of some catchy song you heard on the radio or that classic jam your parents love, just start humming. You’ll have your answer in record time. Google App music search is the best!
