What our customer's say!

"Clunky and inaccurate", Urgh! Not the program I had hoped for.

The scanning part is fairly straightforward, but even with clean original scanned music, Photoscore 3's recognition is pretty bad.

However, you can then go through the music, correcting errors in each bar as you go (they get highlighted in red, although you've still got to look out for the misread/missed notes/rests).

This process was almost enough to make me throw the computer out the window... the editing process is clunky and non-intuitive. It seems partially linked to the Sibelius tools, but unfortunately not in full. This would make the editing process much simpler and quicker, but it seems you've got to use the Photoscore editing tools before you can export a correctly timed score into Sibelius or other program.

"I couldn't get it to work", The title says it all. I tried to scan in a couple of solo accompniments. After following the recommendations for gray scale and such I think I got good scans.

But the interpretation was not good. Only the far left measures down the page could be played. It skips a lot. The timing was all screwed up.

I would think that with very simple pieces it might perform. But this is definitely a no go for me.
