Tabscribe

Turns sheet music, MIDI, and audio into guitar tabs, offline, in your browser.

Notes in, tab out

Each note on the left lands on a string and fret on the right. A scripted demo of the idea. The real app does this from your files.

MIDI in

Tab out

Standard tuning, lowest fret that fits. No audio.

The real app, running right here. It works fully in your browser, so your files never leave your device.

The app needs room to work, so on a small screen it opens on its own page.

Click a note, then use the keys. Notes the app is less sure about show in amber.
