Sheet Music Scanner Reviews

Good, but Lyrics recognizing would be great

At that price, you can't go wrong

I'm very happy with it, but I would like to see more updates and features.

It didn’t recognize without mistakes a high quality digitally created pdf i bought online - let a alone an older one. I tried competitors that have around the same price that even recognized the older sheet perfectly… should have gone with these but i thought i’ll do everything within muse hub :(

I bought this back in august, the program never starts up on my mac. Opened 2 cases, had to follow-up intensely to get an answer, finally bailed out due to lack of answers. 6 months later, still not working.

Scan of printed score was VERY inaccurate. No way to chose save location. Did not scan lyrics. Doesn’t seem ready for actual use.

Good and fast results

Support responded quickly and kindly!

I can recommend it to anyone who has a lot to do with music

Makes my work flow much easier

Everything you want to d with a file is an additional subscription - SCAM

Not everything is perfect, but overall it's good enough

I don't know what all the bad comments are about? I also got very good results with complicated sheet music. You can't really go wrong with a one-time purchase.

Mostly unable to appropriately scan scores. Close to a scam.

The results are not only wrong but complete nonsensical hallucinations. This would only (maybe) work for a very simple piano tune on 1 staff. Should not be able to be sold.

I had some verification problems at first, but thankfully that's been fixed now. Everything's fine now.

I'm happy with Halbestunde, but it would be good if the lyrics were also scanned.

That was a great discovery! It scans my PDFs really accurately

Only used it a few times. Discouraged by its inaccuracy. I've had to manually edit in a GREAT NUMBER of places each time. Probably will not use it again. An expensive lesson to learn ... even though I bought it at a discount. MuseScore's own "Import PDF" feature does a much better job, and it comes free with MuseScore 3 & 4. (Maybe earlier too; not sure.)

Unless you compose only with piano, it’s a complete waste of time and storage space. Good idea but sucks in the way its built. If there’s a specific score you want arranged or put in MIDI, do it yourself or hire someone. It’ll be cheaper and much, much, much better.

I am a working jazzmusician and composer and its a nice starting point for copying scores into Musescore. However its so unaccurate, that you will still get left with a lot of layout and correcting work. If you just want to quickly transpose something, save your money and practice your reading and transposing, in the long run its probably faster ;)

it's a good start but requires a lot of polishing before i can say it was worth the 50EUR price.

For a one-off purchase like this, it's perfectly fine and you won't go far wrong.

I like it and I'm looking forward to further updates!
