Sheet Music Scanner Reviews

Its really annoying that it takes so long do digatize long pdfs. But i will overlook that ( i hope it will be improved tho) since the conversion if farily accurate. Still annoying

When i have a score with more then 1 Instrument it takes me forever to trasnscripe. This is really some nice short-cut

the first one (long, with a lot of text, index pp.) was a complete Desaster. The second one (some pages) was with a lot of errors. The third one (very simple, one page) was full of errors. I cannot recommend tis "recognition" software.

Works well I tested it with an orchestral score containing numerous tuplets, polyrhythms, meter changes, and time and key signature changes. It recognized most notes (approximately 97-99%). HOWEVER, although it recognized some tuplets, it didn’t recognize most of them, so, polyrythms were pretty much gone, as well as some time signature changes, dynamics and some minor indications. Therefore, some editing is neccesary in order to achieve a good result, at least with complex orchestral music. Can’t wait to use it for work and school! Looking forward to further updates, so far it’s good for an early version

I uplaoded PDFs with fairly complicated rythem and they work well mostly all the time. But when i upload a photo it sometimes creates a bad result. I upload the same piece from a different angle and then it works.

This works very well, as long as you have a good source. As long as you have a good input, the app is great. It doesn't work on shaped notes though, which is a shame, but for round notes it works nearly flawlessly. The few flaws it makes are fairly easy to fix. It is a great time saver, since manually writing in notes is a hassle.

Its a very simple product. I like that. But would be good to have more features added in the future.

The software works very well for shorter pieces ( up to 10 pages) beyond that it takes to long until the results is there. Maybe that just me, or there is something wrong with the software. Looking forward to the updates.

In generell its a time saver. Def. not worth 150 Dollar. But 30 its a good deal!

Do not waste your money on this.

I tried an export of a project of mine, which is just a piano part, on this program, and it seems to struggle with even the high-res PDF exports of MuseScore. It'll miss basic rhythms, over-extend and cut short several measures, and even just miss entire beams. In my specific case, it even doubled every note value in a measure. If you're scanning and converting a full score, it'd probably be faster just to input the notes yourself rather than scan and fix all the errors.

On simpler music, for example where there is just one instrument and the time signature is the same through out the whole song works well. But if you have a sheet with more than 1 instrument and the time signatures change throughout the song, the program gets confused, weirdly forgetting to label the time signature on one instrument while the others change, or when an instrument gets added or removed, this leads to corruption is musescore and my music was with a pdf with very crisp details, looks like it was even wrote in musescore because of the font. It also said that the score comes from an old musescore version (I think 2.0). If you have a complicated score with different instruments (like auxiliary percussion combined with tuned percussion, like with me, or STAB+piano choir sheets don't expect it to work well). I suggest splitting the pdf up to reduce error possibilities, could help.

Es importante que la partitura a escanear se vea muy bien para obtener mejores resultado, también saber que tal vez porque sea nueva la app no da los mejores resultados pero si ayudan en no tener que tener todo desde 0, casi siempre uso partituras corales no pone algunas líneas de repetición o codas, sin embargo ya adelanta un 50% o 60% del trabajo, espero que conforme vaya avanzando las actualizaciones mejore y ya sea una app excelente

It works for the most part, though if there are chords listed above the staff that are not basic, it won't catch them.

It transcription works well. But i can only see the notes not play them. Any reason for that

I was impressed that it even worked when the qualilty of the pdf was really not good. My expereince with past scanning tools is that they break mostly when not uploading super clean PDFs

I was unable to obtain any valid score from this tool's scan. If it takes more time to correct the result than to enter the notes yourself then it is not worth the effort. Too bad the idea is good, let's hope the application progresses.

Practically useless unless you have a extremely high resolution PDF. I can imagine this becoming a great product though, just give it time.

Sheet music scanning is a very fascinating concept, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this. I hope there is an option to edit the score.

Speeds up my work a lot!

Easy to use, tho not a huge amount of features.

At first, I was a bit disappointed because the first score I digitized was only partially correct. However, as I learned more about how to use the product effectively, the results improved significantly. I do wish it were more resilient to different angles of the photos I uploaded. What I really like is how well it handles fairly complicated classical rhythms. Inputting those manually into MuseScore would take me quite a while. I'm looking forward to future updates!
