The pro way to digitize your sheet music

Powering PhotoScore Ultimate is Neuratron's impressive OmniScore dual-engine recognition engine, the result of almost two decades of music OCR expertise. Over 99.5% accurate on most PDFs and originals, PhotoScore Ultimate picks up virtually every detail. And its unique ability to read handwritten scores makes it even cooler.

AudioScore Ultimate

You also get Neuratron's AudioScore Ultimate. This software creates scores from MP3s and CD tracks. It's capable of converting up to 16 concurrently sounding instruments or notes into multiple staves, with up to four voices per staff. Export the data directly into Sibelius, or save as a PDF, MIDI, MusicXML, or NIFF file for further development in programs such as Cubase or Finale. Need hard copy?
