Sheet Music Scanner Reviews
The experience has been horrible. This product promises to scan virtually any sheet of paper, but it hasn't even come close to doing that. I paid for this service, and it has been a complete waste of money because it doesn't work as advertised.
Accuracy on complex orchestral scores with 20+ instruments is honestly impressive
Cant believe this isnt subscription based, feels like a steal for what it does
Using it for my choir, works great except it sometimes struggles with 3 staff systems (SATB + piano)
Does it pick up dynamics and articulation marks or just the notes themselves?
Customer support answered my email same day, wasnt expecting that from a small team
Wish there was a way to batch scan a whole folder overnight and just check results in the morning
Tried to use it for a piano score for a jazz band part. Doesn't capture hardly any of the information correctly.
Although it works for very simple rhythms and music sheets, it is often inaccurate and will not scan the full page. It has potential though.
Fails really hard on some moderately complex sheets, only manages to convert the first staff (out of ~10 on the page). Tried to improve the source (which was already quite fine), to no avail. Strangely, it worked better before the last update.
I am very pleased with how the Halbestunde Sheet Music Scanner works. If the original copy is of good quality, the scan is almost always excellent. If the original is of poorer quality, it can sometimes be problematic and requires a lot of adjustments. But it still saves a lot of work. I’ve only needed to contact the helpdesk once, and they helped me efficiently and politely. That’s why I wanted to share this positive review. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
didn't convert the piece
Unfortunately, the app usually does not recognize the multirests and you don;t have almost any advantage of using the MusicScanner. This should be quickly improved, otherwise you will be losing customers.
most of the time entire partition is not recognized
Text failures, does not recognize others than g-key changes F-key into G-key and hustle up of rows etc. It is useless for me and asked for refund...
This product does not work correctly. I get no usable results. Most of the scores do not get recognized at all. It is not worth the money.
Most of the time the entire sheets is not transcribed. Mostly it completes the first five measurements.
Handles old yellowed sheet music from the 1960s better than I expected
Thanks, works better.
Great Update ! The App works much, much better ! Congrats
Any plans for an iPad app? Scanning straight from the tablet would be huge
The MusicXML export saved me hours, exports clean into Finale
The current version is unusable for me. Total waste of $25. They asked me for examples, and I provided them. No action--is this software going to be updated?
Ditto July 25 review, Halbestunde which I purchased, will not open and keeps asking for authorization.
