Chordify is a web service completely free to use. The website’s target audience is beginner guitarists who cannot detect the chords played in a song using their ear. This application uses an intelligent algorithm to automatically detect the chords being played in a song. Understandably, this works for acoustic songs the best. For more complicated songs that have overlapping guitars and numerous other sounds, the app is not very accurate.

You start by creating an account on the website and then uploading the audio file of which you want the chords detected. Alternatively, you can provide the URL for the SoundCloud or YouTube page of the song in which case you will not need to create an account on the site. The song is then analyzed by the website and its chords are displayed as the song is being played.
