What Song Is This Google
It could happen to anyone now and then that there’s a song stuck in the head, but no matter how hard you try, you still can’t recall the lyrics or the musician. Please let Google get you out of trouble.
Google sound search function is always here; you can search for information by saying “OK Google” or “Hey Google”. However, it can’t show you any results if you hum a song. Now, the new “hum to search” feature is added to Google search tools to help users find a song by humming online: you only need to hum, whistle, or sing directly into the mic so as to find the song you can’t remember.
Google’s machine learning models is the key for Google song search. It can “transform the audio into a number-based sequence representing the song’s melody” according to Google. The melody sequence will then be compared to existing songs to find similar ones.
Please note:
- It doesn’t matter you have perfect pitch or are tone-deaf; the hum to search feature works in both situations. (Google song search only focuses on the tune.)
- The new “hum to search” feature is only available in English on iOS device, but it supports more than 20 languages on Android. There will be more languages added by Google in the future.
