Field notes
The upload accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC images up to 20 MB, and the page says photos are deleted after processing. Its sample output uses “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”; uncertain words are highlighted for checking against the source image. Developers can send a photo by file, image URL, or base64 and request ChordPro, OnSong, plain text, or JSON.
