Correcting chords in Listen

Chord detection is very good, but no ear — human or AI — nails every chord in every recording. When Larka isn't sure, it tells you, and lets you set the record straight with a tap.

Spotting low-confidence chords

In the Listen results and chord timeline, chords Larka detected with low confidence are visually marked (dimmed or flagged). These are the spots most worth a second look — an ambiguous voicing, an inversion, or a passing chord the analysis wasn't certain about.

Picking a better chord

Tap any chord to open its alternatives. Larka shows the top three candidates it considered for that moment, ranked by likelihood. Tap the one that matches what you actually played, and the timeline updates instantly. Your correction sticks for that recording.

Do something with the chords

Once the progression looks right, two actions turn it into your next step:

• ·Generate a song from these chords — hand the corrected progression to Larka's AI engine and get a full produced track built on exactly those changes.
• ·Save as chord sheet — save the progression as a clean, readable chord sheet you can come back to, practice with, or share.

Tips

• ·Correct the low-confidence chords first — they're where the analysis most needs your ear.
• ·If several nearby chords look off, the recording may have been noisy; re-recording in a quieter room often improves detection more than correcting one chord at a time.
• ·A corrected progression makes for a much better "Generate a song from these chords" result than an uncertain one.
