Snap a photo, get a score you can practice with.
Photograph a paper bunkafu score and it becomes something you can hear, slow down, and play along with — with your practice tracked along the way. A little reassurance for solo practice, where it's hard to tell if you're getting it right.

Turn a paper score into one you can hear, on the spot.
Start from a photo taken on your phone, or a PDF you already have. AI drafts it, and you finish it in the editor. Once it's done, play it back right there to check it.
Capture it
Photograph a paper bunkafu score with your phone, or upload a PDF.
AI drafts it
AI reads the notes and generates a draft score. Parts that are hard to read may stay as a rough draft.
You finish it
Check the draft in the vertical bunkafu editor and fix it directly. You're the one who finishes it.
Hear it right away
Play back the finished score on the spot, so you can check by ear whether the reading is right.
Slow it down. Repeat it.
Loop just the tricky part, as many times as you need. Change the tempo without changing the pitch, and let the score turn itself.
Tempo control
Change playback speed from 0.25x to 2x while keeping the pitch.
A-B loop
Mark just the measures you're stuck on and loop them on their own.
Auto page turn
The score advances with the tempo, so you don't have to stop to turn the page.
Record it. Compare it. Write it down.
Don't just guess whether you're improving — check by ear. Every take is saved automatically, so you can compare it with an earlier one anytime.
Record in one tap
Recordings are captured in high-quality WAV, staying stable even for a long run-through.
A/B against your past self
Match the tempo and key before comparing, so a faster take doesn't just sound better by accident.
Jot down what you noticed
Leave a short note and tags right after recording. Your practice history shows up on a calendar.
We don't score or judge you. The AI will never tell you your playing is bad.
Same settings, whichever device you pick up.
Tempo and key are saved to the cloud, so you can pick up practice from the same state on the web or on the mobile app.
More freedom for shamisen, on your own.
Many shamisen players practice on their own, away from a teacher. But a paper bunkafu score alone gives you no way to check whether your reading or timing is right.
Shami Ittai lets you photograph a paper score and hear it played back. AI only gets you to a draft — finishing the tricky parts, and judging your own playing, is up to you. We don't score or grade you.
Our team includes someone who works at a shamisen workshop. We build this close to how the instrument and its scores are actually used, day to day.
"Is this something an independent learner actually needs?"
If we can't answer yes right away, we don't build it.
