User reviews
I've scanned roughly 150 hymns so far using this app. This app can be finnicky at times. If the sheet music's author adds a slightly smaller note, or if a pen scratch covers crucial places, it can be a pain to get right if at all. But otherwise, it has roughly an 80% success rate for me, and I haven't looked at his guide on how to use it yet. This is easily the best app I've used to transcribe sheet music. What was once a 4 hour trek per page to get a proper midi file now takes less than 4 min

James, 2024-11-23so far a Positive experience with my limited use. While there are obvious errors in the playback like not recognizing tied notes or multiple bars of rests tied together with a number above, I feel the APP is going to be quite beneficial and 90%accurate. I'd like to see or hear a starting metronome tempo and need a way to edit the playback or correct some of its errors like skipping through repeats. On the positive side, choosing the instrument to hear playback in has a great selection.
