Claims

  1. Chordify's HarmTrace program computes chord candidates at each beat from spectral features; where the audio matches a chord well, that chord is chosen, and otherwise a model of Western tonal harmony selects the chord that best fits its rules.
    "However, when this is not the case, the HarmTrace harmony model will select a chord based on how well it fits the rules of tonal harmony."

  2. Chordify is a web-based music player that automatically transcribes chord labels from an arbitrary audio source, such as an uploaded file or a YouTube or SoundCloud link, to help people play songs on an instrument.
    "Chordify is a web-based music player that strives to help people play any song on a (harmony based) musical instrument. Our web-service automatically transcribes the chord labels from an arbitrary audio source, and presents the chords to the user in an intuitive manner."
