Well, luckily there is an app that is specifically designed for it. SoundHound allows you to discover whatever music is playing around you. SoundHound makes it simple to discover music playing around you. It doesn’t matter if you’re at home, in your car, or anywhere else. Just open the app, hit the big orange button, and we’ll tell you exactly what song is playing and you will get the results in just a matter of seconds. Aside from its excellent sound-detection technology, SoundHound comes with a multitude of great features you will surely enjoy.
How does SoundHound Works?
If you have heard of the Shazam app, SoundHound generally works the same way. To start, simply download the SoundHound App from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. The app comes with a simple one-tap button that you can immediately tap when you want to discover the song that is playing in your area. If you are listening to recorded music, it matches a flexible fingerprint of your sound against a database of recorded music, giving you the fastest, most accurate result possible, even for popular remixes. Even if you are just humming or singing a part of that song, the app will look on its huge database that matches the tempo, melody, rhythm, or the lyrics.
Interestingly, you can also use such features using voice control where each command starts with “Hey SoundHound…” similar to other virtual assistants. Interestingly, all the songs and lyrics you discover will be kept in your own personal history, and you’ll have a Music Map to look up exactly where you heard that song you loved so much. The results may also link you to other streaming apps like Spotify, Pandora, and more. When you already have the result, you can also search for other relevant details including the real-time lyrics that turn this app into a mobile karaoke.
