Description
Upload a PDF or photo of a chord chart and every chord symbol is re-stamped in the new key, in place — the printed layout, lyrics and spacing stay exactly as they were. Every other free transposer wants chords pasted in as text. CapoChart reads the chart you already have, including scans and phone photos, and hands back a print-ready PDF. Plus a capo calculator and chord diagrams in all 12 keys. Everything runs without an account.

Could you build this?
Partial While OCR and transposition logic exist, precisely detecting arbitrary chord notations on complex PDF/scanned layouts, erasing them, and re-stamping them in the exact coordinate/font space without disrupting layout is a brittle computer vision and document reconstruction task.
What it would actually take: A production version needs an OCR and document layout analysis engine (like PaddleOCR, LayoutLM, or custom YOLO models fine-tuned on musical lead sheets) capable of detecting chord tokens versus lyrics and musical notation. The pipeline must calculate exact bounding boxes, transcode chord symbols musically, remove the original text with inpainting or PDF text-stream replacement, and synthesize matching fonts/styles back into the PDF. This requires specialized document-processing and CV pipeline engineering beyond standard multimodal LLM wrapper code.
