Amazingly, while I got better at writing, NotateMe got better at learning my handwriting. The workflow of using your fingers to manipulate the score and zoom level while using a pointing device to jot down notation is smooth, efficient, and only gets better as you use it. This technology has been evolving since its inception and I can happily tell you, NotateMe is the real deal. The ability to jot down notation at lightning speed on a computing device and have it spit out quality printed sheet music. NotateMe finally realizes the dream I’ve had ever since the iPad first came out. Jotting in the notation with a mouse was do-able, but picking up NotateMe for iOS and using an Apple Pencil was just an absolute game changer. You have the flexibility to use NotateMe with your computer device - and I highly recommend using a computing device with a pen input. NotateMe is a really fantastic tool for anyone who wants to quickly convert handwritten notation into printable / editable sheet music. This can save you the step of taking a picture, importing that picture from a camera roll, deleting the original off of your camera roll… you get the idea. When importing, for example, there is a built-in tool to directly connect scanning devices and scan right into PhotoScore. That’s a real simplification of a very diverse suite of tools, but it’s important to keep the steps in mind before you start analyzing the value of the suite as a whole. You take a clean photo of a score, ask PhotoScore to ‘read’ the score, make any tweaks necessary, then export into the format and app of your choice. The workflow is actually fairly simple to understand. I spent a bit of time on the included demo scores to get used to the system before jumping into the ‘deep end’. The first use case I tested out was to scan an existing score to get into Sibelius for editing, transposition, and more. I tried both apps in a variety of workflows and I’m ready to tell the tale.
#Photoscore ultimate versus lite professional
Whether you are trying to get printed music from a score into a MIDI file or hand-written music instantly converted into professional notation, this bundle from Neuratron has a solution for you. Having a complete system of bidirectional notation recognition can speed up a workflow to previously unheard of levels.
