Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Tabtify's AI-powered guitar tab creation platform. From audio conversion to professional export formats.

Can Tabtify turn a vocal melody into ukulele tab?
Yes. Pick Singing or humming for a voice-only recording, or tick Someone is singing and Tab the vocal melody for a song: the AI listens for a voice, and the melody it hears is laid on a ukulele neck as the first track of the tab.
Does the ukulele in the song still get a tab?
Yes. The ukulele keeps its own tab track; the vocal line is placed first because it is what you asked for.
Can I hum or sing my own idea?
Yes. Record yourself on the page or upload a phone recording. A clear, single voice with little background works best.
Why are so many notes moved up?
A ukulele's lowest note is the open C on a standard re-entrant tuning, well above most singing voices, so low notes are moved up an octave to stay playable. Choose Low G in Advanced for a little more range.
What about the singer's slides and vibrato?
A tab has frets, not a continuous pitch, so slides are written as the notes they land on. Tabtify does not guess bends or slides from a voice; add them in the editor if you want them on the page.

Converter notes

From source to editable tab

These notes are here for setup context. The main workflow starts above in the converter, then continues in the editor.

  • Declares the singing, so the AI listens for a voice as well as the ukulele.
  • The vocal line becomes the first tab track; the ukulele in the recording keeps its own track.
  • Opens in the editor so positions, timing, and octaves can be corrected.

Steps

  1. 01Upload a song with singing, record yourself, or paste a supported public media link.
  2. 02Pick Singing or humming for a voice-only recording (or Ukulele cover plus Someone is singing and Tab the vocal melody), then choose ukulele tab as the output.
  3. 03Run AI transcription and open the generated tab in the editor.
  4. 04Check the vocal track with playback, fix pitches and timing, then save or export.

Source quality

  • A clear lead voice over a light strum converts better than a dense mix with backing vocals.
  • For a song with a ukulele under the voice, pick Ukulele cover and tick Someone is singing so the AI knows what else is in the recording.
  • Sung melodies slide between notes; expect to tidy a few pitches and note lengths in the editor.
  • Four strings cover a narrow range: low notes are moved up an octave to fit the neck.
  • A voice bends and slides in ways a fret cannot; the draft snaps the line to frets and you adjust the rest.
  • AI output is a first draft for cleanup, not a finished arrangement.
