Player

Upload, scan, listen.

Works with printed, monophonic single-staff parts — études, orchestral parts, vocal lines. The scan reads the notes; then you play them back and see in the score which note is sounding.

Questions

Quick answers.

Do I need an app to scan and play sheet music?

No. Everything runs in your browser — on a phone or a computer. Take or upload a photo, press play, done. Nothing to install — just a free account.

Is it really free?

With a free account, one page a day is free. More pages come with Pro or Lifetime.

What kind of sheet music works?

Printed, monophonic single-staff parts: études, orchestral and wind parts, vocal lines. Not yet: piano, multi-voice staves, handwriting.

Can I open the result in MuseScore?

Yes. Download the MusicXML file and open it in MuseScore (free), Sibelius, Dorico or Finale — slurs, dynamics and articulation come along. The MIDI file plays in any DAW or media player.

Can I transpose it, too?

Yes — that is what the sheet music transposer is for: same recognition, plus presets for B♭ and E♭ instruments and horn.
