Re: Hum to Search Song
#22I 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…
"Las Mañanitas" is a traditional Mexican birthday song. "Cánticos" means just "chants".

#23Been 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.
There's no Search a Song button for me. I just updated the app...
edit: works for me now. After a few minutes the button just started showing up

#24Back in the days, I hoped Shazam was exactly that.
I was rather whelmed when I saw it could just find songs that were playing right now.

#25Just tried it out on my throwaway Android. Wow, this actually works really well! As I write this from my iPhone, this might singlehandedly be the reason why I switch to a Pixel instead of another iPhone this fall. I was always disappointed that even after acquiring Shazam, Siri could never seem to correctly guess what song was playing unless I had a perfect recording. Anytime I go to a live concert venue, or even a c…
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.

#26I dowloaded the Google app, said “what’s this song,” and it just searched Google for the words “what’s this song” instead of listening for humming. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: After tapping the microphone icon, I have to tap the “search a song” button instead of saying “what’s this song”

#27This works relatively well!
I am a non-native English speaker, and I have been trying songs from different countries. I did notice that English songs have a better match than songs from other regions and languages[0]. I wonder if their training dataset has "overfitted" to such music, or is such music inherently represented by some underlying features that are better distinguished than others.
[0]: E.g. English ("My Heart will Go On" and "Skyfall") fit with 78% and 85% respectively, while Japanese ("Tonari no Totoro") and Hindi ("Tum Hi Ho") fit with 42% and 48% respectively

Huh! So it is. But the couple versions I found started with a verse with a different melody before going to Happy Birthday.

Ditto over here, just updated and search a song is nowhere to be found.
