About tunescout
Built for the moment a video has a song you need to find.
tunescout is an independent music-recognition tool for public videos. It was built around a simple frustration: finding the song in a YouTube video should not require a second device, a forced account or a paid trial.
What the tool does
Paste a public video link and tunescout extracts short audio sections, sends them to music-recognition providers and returns the matches with the point in the video where they were found. Quick scan is designed for a fast answer; Timestamp scan checks a known moment; Full scan samples a video throughout. Deep analysis can make a second attempt after separating speech from the music.
The BPM & key finder is a separate utility for songs and music videos. It estimates tempo and musical key from a short audio section, then only creates a public song page once the recording itself is recognised and verified.
What we optimise for
- Useful before monetisable. The core finder can be used without creating an account.
- Clear results. A match includes a timestamp and links to listen on common music services.
- Honest limits. A result is an automated identification, not a guarantee. Quiet, edited, live or catalogue-missing music can fail to match.
- Privacy by default. Analytics are self-hosted and aggregate; scan history is only attached to an account when a visitor chooses to save it.
How results and pages are created
Public video-result pages are created from actual scans, not from a keyword list. BPM pages are created only after a source is matched to the expected artist and title. The explanatory guides document the workflows and limitations of the product; they are written as product documentation rather than generated as a catalogue of search pages.
