Whisper That Understands Music, Not Just Speech

Automatically detect music in your audio and video, transcribe lyrics, and keep captions clean. No more garbled text where a song plays: music is labelled, not hallucinated.

Speech Is Speech, Music Is Music

Standard transcription treats everything as words, so a musical intro, a background track, or a whole song becomes nonsense text. TranscriptAI classifies the audio first, so speech is transcribed accurately and music is recognised and labelled as music.

  • Detect music, speech, and noise segments across the timeline
  • Music segments are labelled ♪, never hallucinated into fake words
  • A Music tab shows where music plays and how much of the file is music
  • Transcribe song lyrics with a dedicated lyrics mode
  • Word-level timing for karaoke-style captions that highlight each word
  • Cleaner transcripts for podcasts, videos, and lectures with music

How It Works

Step 1

Upload Audio or Video

Drop a podcast, video, or song. The audio is analysed for music, speech, and noise before transcription.

Step 2

Music Gets Recognised

Music spans are detected and labelled, and excluded from speech transcription so nothing is hallucinated.

Step 3

Transcribe or Caption

Read the clean transcript, view the Music tab, or open Subtitle Studio for lyric and karaoke captions.

Stop Fighting Garbled Music Transcripts

Anyone who has transcribed audio with an intro jingle, a background score, or a musical performance knows the pain: pages of invented words. Music recognition fixes this at the root, and turns songs into something you can actually caption.

Clean podcast transcripts even with intro/outro music
Caption videos that mix talking and music without artefacts
Turn songs into lyric sheets and karaoke captions
See exactly where music plays with a visual Music timeline
Better accessibility: music is marked, speech is accurate
Ideal for musicians, video editors, and podcasters alike

Who It's For

Musicians & Songwriters

Transcribe your own tracks into lyric sheets and generate karaoke-style captioned videos.

Podcasters

Keep intro/outro music out of the transcript so the spoken content stays clean and searchable.

Video Editors

Caption videos that mix dialogue and music without garbled text over the soundtrack.

Accessibility Teams

Mark music cues distinctly from speech for accurate, standards-aware closed captions.

Part of the TranscriptAI Ecosystem

Music recognition feeds straight into Subtitles. Music spans become ♪ captions, lyrics flow into Subtitle Studio, and word-level timing powers karaoke captions.
