For worship teams
The song isn't in the catalogue. The score can still exist.
For the original song your team wrote, the arrangement your keys player worked out by ear, or the hymn nobody publishes — record the piano part and get it on paper before Sunday.
The first 30 seconds of every recording are free, in your browser, with no account.
How it works
01
Record the keys part
Piano or keys, played solo — a phone recording is fine. Up to 25 MB and 10 minutes.
02
Preview free
Hear the first 30 seconds as notation in the browser before deciding anything.
03
Share the score
A printable PDF for the pianist, plus MIDI and MusicXML for whoever needs to transpose or arrange it.
Where it fits in a worship workflow
Original songs. Your team's own material has no catalogue page — recording the keys part and transcribing it is the fastest route to a score the whole band can work from. Arrangements by ear. What your keys player actually plays, written down, so the part survives their vacation. Key changes. The MusicXML opens in MuseScore and transposes in one step when Sunday's singer needs it lower.
One honest boundary: this produces a full piano score, not a chord chart or Nashville numbers — no chord symbols or lyrics are written. If a lead sheet is what the team needs, making a lead sheet from a recording explains the reduction step, and chord chart vs lead sheet helps pick the format.
When the catalogue doesn't carry it
The answer to "it's not on PraiseCharts" is usually a custom arrangement or a blank page. Song not on PraiseCharts and not on SongSelect walk the options — including what your CCLI licence does and doesn't cover when you write an arrangement down.
Honest limits
Where you will still proofread.
Automatic transcription is a first draft, not a finished score. The free 30-second preview exists so you can see exactly that on your own recording before paying anything.
No chord charts
The output is staff notation. Chord symbols, Nashville numbers and lyrics are not generated — that reduction is manual.
Record the keys solo
Full band recordings won't separate. Capture the piano part on its own, even as a quick phone take at rehearsal.
Sustain-heavy worship pads
Long pedalled swells blur note endings. Expect to tidy note lengths in the MusicXML.
One key per file
A mid-song modulation stays as accidentals, not a new key signature. Transposing afterward is easy in notation software.
Spontaneous moments
Free-time worship writes literally — irregular rhythms are correct but may need simplifying to be readable.
Check it before Sunday
It's a draft to proof, like anything automatic. The free preview shows the quality on your actual recording.
Every purchase includes the MusicXML file, so a wrong note is a few seconds' work in MuseScore, Sibelius or Dorico — not a reason to start again.

Start transcribingQuestions, answered
Our song isn't on PraiseCharts or SongSelect. Can this help?
Yes — that's the common case. Record the keys part on its own, upload it, and get a full piano score to share with the team. Chord charts and lead sheets still need a manual reduction step.
Can it transcribe a full band recording?
No — it is built for solo piano or keys. Vocals, drums and guitars share the piano's frequencies and produce wrong notes. Record the keys part separately; even a phone take at rehearsal works.
Can we transpose the score for a different singer?
Open the included MusicXML in MuseScore (free), Sibelius or Dorico and transpose the whole score in one step, then print a fresh PDF.
What does it cost for a set list?
One piece is $4.99 with no subscription. For a whole set or a season, the $9.99 monthly plan covers unlimited recordings and cancels anytime.
