Has anyone ever heard of a program that will take recorded vocals and translate them into notes???

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

YES! This stupid software is born and alive!!!!
You need any program that can convert wav datas to midi. Some also produce partitures. If not, just use a midi analizer that can write partitures.
As stupid as it sounds this kind of program perfectly works if you have only one instrument in the wav. Notes are nothing more than frequencies. Any wav is made of frequencies so of course this is possible! Most of the time, the program produces stupid notes datas, but that should work for a voice!

Now, I don't really understand why you want to convert your voice into notes.

If we understand you post in another way, you might be trying to ask us if we know what is the magical stuff that can make your voice sound like notes. In this case what you're looking for is a vocoder.

Did I answer your question?

the first answer was what i was looking for. I need to be able to say a sentence in a microphone and see what notes are used, it's for a school project.

Thanks!

so I confirm :
1/ wav to midi conversion software
2/ midi to partitures software

or a sonogram > this is made exactly for what you want.

Ok i went on this site about a sonogram, and it talks about speech recognition, but doesn't say anything about a feature that will recognize what note an audio file is in. I'm new to all of this, how can I use this program to help me?

Thanks so much for your help

let's start from the beginning.
a sonogram is meant to show you the main frequencies, the note and the harmonics.
The graphic datas it produces can definitely show the difference between two voices for instance.
You have to know that a note is nothing more than a frequency. Anything that can show you the frequency of your sound can show you the note. For instance, 440Hz (the musical reference) is an A (=la). For each octave you have to double the frequency. 880Hz is the next A.

-The first thing I told you (wav2midi then partiture) is a stupid thing to do. Of course this will work but you'll get weird note datas 90% of the time, not a real logic partiture. This is ok if you sing a song and then want to translate this into a partiture automatically for example, but this is still a quite stupid thing to do!

-The sonogram can instantly analyze which note you're producing. That's why I think that it's a much better way if you want to explain sound for a school project!

All you have to explain about this is that your voice produces frequencies. Those frequencies have a logic organisation. The main frequency is the note. Then the others frequencies are called harmonics. If you can see the frequencies, you can deduce the note. The more the frequency is fast, the more the note will be high.

I hope you understand more about it.
If you need anything more just ask me!

thanks, I understand perfectly now!

I appreciate your help!

no problem.
anytime you need me just call my name! (loudly cause Im a bit far away...)
