I thought this was just called Google. Is there a real need for this?

@rebeccall80 good point, I used to use Google for scoping songs. I've since found that using a targeted service helps to filter out false positive results - e.g. scope never go to bed mad. Googling "never go to bed mad" returns many results before Jay-Z - MaNyfaCedGod.
Love it, very useful! An easy update to improve the ux significantly would be to add ‘wrong’ as a quick reply
@dredurr that's on the upcoming list - going to add TV shows and movies by quote. Cheers for the support!
@shauli_daon exactly right, I used to use Google for scoping songs. I've since found that using a targeted service helps to filter out false positive results - e.g. scope never go to bed mad. Googling "never go to bed mad" returns many results before Jay-Z - MaNyfaCedGod.
It would be cool if it could recognize a song from a screenshot of the song. It is pointless when you have a screenshot of one song, but if a friend sends you 30 screenshots of songs on Spotify, it would be great if this app automatically put them in a Spotify/youtube playlist. It is already looking for the title and stuff, so simple ocr could help the process.
@jfourcher this would be cool but Spotify supports codes now which could be used to import songs to a playlist. I'll take a look into it but don't plan on tackling this in the short term. Cheers for the support!
Scope is a Facebook Messenger bot that identifies songs from lyrics/titles. Scope returns detailed information about songs it matches including title, artist, album, release date, recording location, BPM, key, samples, featured artists, producers and writers (where available). Scope also returns direct Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, YouTube and Genius links to the song. Scope is powered by Genius and Spotify APIs so matches are slightly biased towards hiphop and rap music (Genius started off as Rap Genius).
It's easy to scope a song - just send a message starting with 'scope' followed by the lyric/title you're after (e.g. scope waves). Scope will reply with details of the closest match. If Scope matches the wrong song, simply reply with the word 'wrong' to select from the next best matches.
