Stork's verdict on Hum to Search

Hum to Search is a tidy browser front end for paid humming recognition; try Google's free hum to search or SoundHound first and pay only if they fail you.

overview

What Hum to Search does

Hum to Search identifies songs from your voice or from audio around you. In the browser you allow microphone access and hum or sing for about 5 to 10 seconds (its error messages suggest 10 to 20 seconds of humming in a quiet place), let it listen to music playing nearby, or upload an audio file. Results show the artist, album and release date with links to Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube. There is no app to install; the site says it works in Safari on iPhone and in any modern browser, in 17 interface languages.

The site does not run its own recognition model. Its privacy policy says humming searches are sent to ACRCloud, and recordings of original music go to AudioTag, with AudD as a fallback, so one sample can reach more than one provider. The site describes itself as independent and not an official Google, Shazam or SoundHound product. It also hosts free side tools for finding songs in videos and YouTube clips and for detecting a song's key.

best for

Who Hum to Search is best for

It suits someone with a tune stuck in their head who wants a web page rather than an app, and who does not mind paying a few cents per search. Because it uses the same kind of humming recognition service that other apps license, results depend on that provider.

Most people should try the free options first: Google's hum to search in the Google app and Google Search, SoundHound and Midomi all take humming or singing at no charge. Shazam is the usual pick for recorded music playing nearby, though it does not take humming.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hum to Search free?

Not fully. Each completed search costs 10 credits, and the terms say new accounts start with zero credits. A one-time pack is $5 for 1,000 credits (100 searches) at the current launch price, with a $10 reference price. Google's own hum to search is free in the Google app.

How much does Hum to Search cost per search?

At the $5 launch price, 100 searches works out to $0.05 each ($5 / 100). Searches that find no match still use credits; invalid uploads and technical errors do not.

Is Hum to Search the same as Google hum to search?

No. humtosearch.app is an independent website and says it is not an official Google, Shazam or SoundHound product. Google's feature lives in the Google app and Google Search.

How does Hum to Search recognize songs?

Its privacy policy says humming searches are sent to ACRCloud, and recordings of original music go to AudioTag, with AudD as a fallback. Recording happens in your browser and a short sample is sent to its server and the provider.

Does Hum to Search store my audio?

The site says it does not keep a permanent audio library and processes samples without saving them to an archive. Its privacy policy adds that recognition providers follow their own retention policies and it cannot promise they delete every sample immediately.

Does Hum to Search work on iPhone?

Yes. It runs in Safari and other modern browsers, so there is nothing to install.
