How “Hum to Search” Works
The feature “Hum to Search” uses AI and machine learning to recognize the patterns in music from imperfect audio like a hummed or whistled tune. When you hum, the app converts your hum into a digital representation of the sound. Then an algorithm analyses the waveform to recognize musical patterns. The recognition system compares the patterns to a vast database of known songs to look for similarities in pitch, rhythm, and tune structure. The system then returns a list of possible song matches. It then uses an accuracy score to provide you with the matching result.
The ability to search for songs by humming is a game-changer. Many people could remember the tune of the song but not the lyrics. Hum to search feature allows you to find a song even if you don’t remember the lyrics. It helps you a lot and saves hours of searching.
