Topic: Looking for a Software that scans sheet music into the computer

[oliverblack77]

Does anyone know if there is a software that will read sheet music into the computer by scanning and play it back?

A quick search on Google shows many apps and software that can scan sheet music and store to MusicXML or midi. See something like https://www.scoringnotes.com/reviews/a-review-of-optical-music-recognition-software/

Once you do that, you can open the file in any daw or sheet music software to fix issues and play it back.

I personally use Scan Score https://scan-score.com/en/. It's been around a long time, but works quite well for me. Need a decent quality copy to scan from, and you may need to adjust the scan settings to optimise the input. I'm usually scanning choral music and find, in general, it is quicker to scan and correct than enter from scratch. This is especially applicable if there is a piano part as well.
