Abstract
Note recognizer is an online web application. In order to overcome the performance issues of the internet infrastructure (browser, devices, OS platforms) traditional algorithms have been re-designed and novel processes based on the Web Audio API have been implemented. It is the first time that open standard web tools offered in all the commercial browsers are used to build an application that usually required dedicated signal processing libraries. These novel processes and algorithms provide MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) information out of audio files or microphone. Our application may assist musical education by allowing students to transform their inspiration or a performance into notes.
