SharpEye Music Reader Description

SharpEye Music Reader converts a scanned image of printed music into a MIDI file, a NIFF file, or a MusicXML file

It allows direct scanning from TWAIN compatible scanners. (Most scanners are TWAIN compatible).

Used at its simplest, you drag an image file into a window, click on a button and wait for the conversion to take place. The output is shown in conventional music notation in another window. Click on another button to save the result as a MIDI file.

Usually there will be some errors in the output: SharpEye has a built in editor for correcting them. Almost all the editing can be done with the mouse and delete key. The input image window automatically scrolls to the right place in the image as you edit. SharpEye also shows warnings for each bar which doesn't make musical sense. This acts a bit like a spellchecker and directs your attention to likely errors.

SharpEye does not cope with handwritten music.
How can I scan music, transpose it, and print it?

SharpEye does not have facilities for transposing or printing the music. You can either: use SharpEye with a notation editor (for example MagicScore Maestro, MagicScore Classic, MagicScore School or other top-level music notation software).
Which other music programs work with SharpEye?

The short answer is: MIDI sequencers and music notation editors.

MIDI sequencers are oriented towards sound output (though some also print) while music notation programs are oriented towards printed output (though most will play the music).

If you use a MIDI sequencer with SharpEye you will export the score from SharpEye as a MIDI file and import it into the sequencer. You will lose some information about how the music is laid out. If you are mainly interested in the sound, this may not worry you, but if you intend printing the sheet music again, it is far from ideal.

If you use a notation editor, you should if possible choose one which imports either NIFF or MusicXML format. Most of the major notation editors now provide an import facility for at least one of these.
How well does it work?

It is very difficult to convey how accurate SharpEye is in words. I have always given accuracy the top priority during the development of SharpEye, and according to reviews and existing customers, SharpEye v1 was already one of the most accurate music OCRs in the world. Version 2 is significantly better.
