1. A method for recognizing one or more sounds on a server computer, the method comprising:
- receiving on the server computer a user input from a computing device, the user input providing a search query comprising the one or more sounds, the one or more sounds having been recorded on the computing device using at least one microphone;
executing instructions stored in memory on the server computer, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor on the server computer;
provides an available set of databases, each database comprising a sound type and associated data, the available set of databases comprising a first database for recorded audio and second database for speech,discriminates the one or more sounds by classifying the one or more sounds according to a sound type and routing the one or more sounds to a corresponding sound recognition application for processing based on the sound type, the corresponding sound recognition application being selected from a first sound recognition application for recorded audio and second sound recognition application for speech,extracts features from the one or more sounds,analyzes the extracted features using a database selected from the available set of databases based on the sound type, andobtains information regarding the extracted features based on the analysis; and
in response to the search query, transmitting for display the information regarding the extracted features of the one or more sounds to the computing device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for recognizing sounds are provided herein. User input relating to one or more sounds is received from a computing device. Instructions, which are stored in memory, are executed by a processor to discriminate the one or more sounds, extract music features from the one or more sounds, analyze the music features using one or more databases, and obtain information regarding the music features based on the analysis. Further, information regarding the music features of the one or more sounds may be transmitted to display on the computing device.
