Tabbing songs

Dave,
When I have my bendometer on and play a recorded song by one of the harmonica masters, the bendometer lights up the notes that need to be played, but this happens very fast. Has anyone developed a program that will tab the songs for you right off the bendometer. That would be awesome and I would absolutely buy.
One workaround you could use is to slow down the audio before checking it with the bendometer. The Amazing Slowdowner is popular, and many audio recording and processing apps, such as the freeware Audacity, will also do it.
You can also play back just a few notes, or maybe a phrase, at a time so that you can write down the tab for a manageable stretch of notes.
Ultimately, you have to develop your ear so that you always know what you're hearing. Relying on an app that hands it all to you will short circuit an essential part of your development. But with slowed-down snippets and the bendometer (even without the Bendometer) you can still develop your ear.
