What? Humming is not different across dialects.

It works just fine in the Google Search iOS app.
What app are you using? I tried “what song is this”, and it just directs me to a search result on my iPhone.
Same here, and I have no "search a song" button after hitting the microphone
edit: now the button does show up. Tried humming "Peter and the wolf" and it failed.

#34Finally someone did this. I've got a million songs in my head that I'm humming not knowing what songs these are. And I was dreaming of being able to simply hum a melody to something shazam-like and get a result.
I’m fairly sure SoundHound has had this feature since the early 2010s. Haven’t heard of the app since, but apparently their site is still up. I think Shazam ended up winning the music ID race as I remember having both apps.
Yup, SoundHound existed, and before that, Midomi.

#35SoundHound already did this long ago. It works pretty well.

#36Been trying to find this in the iOS app but not having any luck. Did I miss something in the article?
Works for me in the iOS app. Tap the microphone in the search box, then tap Search a Song.
I was confused too at first. Installed the app and pressed the microphone icon, but didn’t notice the button. Was it even there?
But then after I’d uninstalled the app I went back and reread the article and saw it say to press microphone and then button for search a song, reinstalled app and then I saw the button there.
Still don’t know if it was there or not the first time around. Maybe I just didn’t see it? Either way, it’s there now. Using iOS btw.
I was curious to see how it would fare because for example when I’ve tried to hum into Shazam or SoundHound in the past they’ve never come close to finding what I was looking for.
But I read in the article that Google is using machine learning and that they have actually trained their hum to search on recording of humming so I got my hopes up.
So in the Google search app I hummed a part of the melody for the song What is Love by Haddaway and... it recognized it! I’m impressed!

#37Silence detection is awful, and there's no way to manually end recognition, so I literally cannot use this.
Re: Hum to Search Song
#38I just tried this with a melody I've had stuck in my head for days - no results. Then I tried "Happy Birthday" and got three results: "Las Mananitas" by Canticos "Iyi Ki Dogdun Melissa", by Eser Ulun "Iyi Ki Dogdun Zarife", by Eser Ulun I'm no Pavarotti, but I can sing on pitch and have played the violin for 40 years. EDIT: Heh, "Iyi Ki Dogdun" is Turkish for Happy Birthday, and the links would have taken me to YouTu…
What's the melody? Vocaroo it!

I think that, as of this moment, the tool does not take the user's current region into account. I know two songs that are very similar[0][1], but from vastly different regions, and I could easily get them both detected by this tool just by humming slightly differently.

There's a timeout, so if you're patient it eventually stops
