Sheet Music Scanner Reviews
Mac OS version. It creates a lot of empty musical staves. It fails to recognize the bass clef staff. Honestly, this is a very poor sheet music scanner—especially when compared to something like SmartScore 64. I would like to request a refund, if possible. I purchased this via MuseHub at a Black Friday price. DO NOT buy it. Even if it were free, it wouldn't be worth the download.
Developer Response: Thank you for the feedback. To request a refund, please contact MuseHub support at https://support.musehub.com/en/
Produces V2 Musescore scores … and requires substantial rework
Excellent app. It handles its job 10 out of 10
Correcting all the mistakes and adding everything that is not recognized is actually more work than just creating the score manually. There also seems to be no interest to do improve this product at all, the most recent version is 2 years old.
Tried with choir scores : Works well for few first bars then it become a mess : voices spreading accross multiple lines, dynamics, legato arent on the right place, sometime the file is corrupted. It still can save me some time, but it doesnt deliver a ready to use file. At that price, grab this one hoping it will become a good tools in the future.
Only issue ive had is with very small print, older engraved scores from publishers like Ricordi
Been recommending this to my whole music department at school
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.
