Sheet Music Scanner Reviews

It's amazing to me that any app can convert printed sheet music, but unfortunately this app needs lots of work. I tested it with a 2-page keyboard plus solo voice score and one-page leadsheet (melody, chords, lyrics). Though the PDF was crisp and legible, the converted file shows many extra blank staves, is missing lyrics and chords, and shows music that's incomplete and inaccurate. I can enter the score from scratch with computer keyboard, mouse, or MIDI keyboard faster than I could clean up the converted output. I see this is version 0.0.5. I'm looking forward to a version that will save me time; I'm eager to update this review and give it thumbs-up.

Even an easy score is analysed in a proper form… 30 bucks for probably nothing!

Saves me around 50% my usal time for editing scores for my class. Drums do not work tho. please work on this next!

I've others that worked better. If I have a great pdf, like one I created from MuseScore or Finale, it will reproduce the notes OK but not the lyrics, but if I have a good one, like something I got from Hymnary, I get a complete blank. I bought it to support the developer of Musehub. I should have just sent them money.

Well, the first thing I did was, I loaded a very old edition of a Chopin etude. It took it quite some time to process but although the result was not as perfect as they claim it would be but just well enough for me not to ask for a refund (I don't know if I can, anyways).

The user guide is ONE page with five sentences. That's just wrong. There should be documentation on how to handle PDF files with pages (such as title pages, back-side ads, etc.). As such, I am only getting partial conversions of pages with notation. While the conversion is fairly accurate, it's also fairly incomplete. The developers need to address converting media that also contains non-musical content.

I usally use musescore studio for transcribing and rewriting my pieces for the choir. Often slurs and ties are missed, but besides that it def. saves me a bunch of time.

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.

CRASHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

After the latest update, i can't download it as mscz file any more

Sorry, I was happy to find a software that could transcribe some of my sheets music pdf but the result is really poor for me. As well as i'll transcribe it manualy, i regret my purchase :(

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.

Ideal for music schools and music lovers —my students are learning a lot! Can't stop recommending it! Thank you so much!

Well designed and easy to use

For me the app does okay, but I can never trust it to open and work. So that is quite annoying. Hope they will do better.

The scanner so far handled all of my scores super well, I’m surprised and impressed! Cannot wait to use it more next months :).

I put it a failry complicated piece by bach (Partita 2) And it was recognized 98% correct. I was honestly impressed! I hope you guys can get to the 100 soon. This would help me a lot with reedditing

I tried so many different products. From Newzik to Photoscore to Soundslice (which, in opposite to what a previous comment is saying, is mostly producing crap), this here is working very well. To be honest, it does struggle sometimes (I do not understand why) with triplets, but I hope this will be resolved soon. Besides that, some slurs are missing, its a minor thing, but it is indeed annoying

I compared this to soundslice.com and soundslice.com was better for all my test scores. That this would be the worlds most accurate is a big lie. Also I can’t download the files in Musescore format, it just stops at 1 %.

Gets the work done, pretty useful tool, you just need to know to use it properly

It takes ( for longer pdfs) a long time to be proccest sometimes. But then results are good! Jazz leadsheet only work sometimes, i hope they will improve that. Complicated classic pieces work very well tho.

In the past i mostly used photoscore to digitize my scores. The design here is very simple ( i hope there will be some updates) but it does it basic job very well. I have mostly old scores with degraded qualitiy wich i would like to re-write. Besides one missing tie everything was recognized very well! Good job!

pls refund, it skus

Was simple to use and gave me very accurate scans!
