The manufacturer had asked me to compare the results with those of Sharp Eye and PhotoScore. I’ve attached a montage of the screen copy from the app and the result in Musescore and as a second file the resulting XML. In a further posting I will report which results I observed in the app with the same arrangement and a PDF from a flatbed scanner. Nevertheless, I was impressed by the first test, which can also be done with the free version except for the export as XML. At least the result of the recognition of the photo I would not give to my singers to practice. The manufacturer's website advertises that only the choir director needs a paid subscription and can make the result available to the singers for the free version. I did not find a possibility for postproduction in App. Imported into Musescore, some more deviations from the original can be recognized. As a singer you get a quite good impression of the piece, even if you can't play the piano but the absence of two complete bars from the prelude is clearly noticeable. My first conclusion: An impressive listening result for a quick smartphone photo. The same situation is found for the Eb in the bass of the last bar, which was again moved into the tenor. In the last bar the Eb is missing again, which is only displayed in the soprano. In addition, the F in the soprano is tied to the next bar, which is not so in the notes. In the same way, the A in the bass is shifted into the tenor in the following bar. In the tenor there is a chord of F and A, but the F is missing in the bass. In the 2nd bar of the last line the whole note is missing again in the alto. I then listened to this again in the app and this deviation can also be heard. But since the recognized notes are divided into two voices, the eighth note does not appear at the correct position after the dotted quarter note, but already at beat 2. In the first bar of the last line it looks as if only a few superfluous pauses had been recognized in the bass. The whole notes from soprano and alto are represented as chord in soprano, in alto this note is missing. Then bars 6 and 7 are missing in all voices and it continues without a double bar in bar 1 of the song movement. In the second bar the dotted half is missing in the tenor. If I insert the XML-Code here, it gets interpreted, so please look into the attached file. The signs were recognized correctly, the signature 4/4 is displayed as 2/2 and as far as I understand the XML, this is not Musescore's fault. Text and breath characters are not yet recognized according to the specification. I loaded the generated XML file into Musescore 3. Therefore I was keen to see what this would look like in the notation. The recognition took place quickly and at first I heard few deviations from the original, but the last two bars of the foreplay were ignored. The photo has been taken with an iPhone SE. I have made an effort to take a photo that is as evenly illuminated as possible and as straight as possible. Therefore here first test 1a (photo of a simple chorale). The first test should show how well the program is suitable for this purpose. The program also supports choir singers in learning their voices. I'll do several tests, about which I'll report to you one after the other. In the following I would like to report, how the recognition performed for me. I don't have any relation to the provider except the nice contact via mail as follow up to my posting in the forum. As promised, I received a free annual license of PlayScore 2 for iOs worth about 30 Euro for testing.
