Sibelius Neuratron PhotoScore Ultimate 6
PhotoScore Ultimate 6 is the fastest way to scan music for transpositions, arrangements & editions. It's the fully-featured version of the PhotoScore Lite scanning software for Sibelius and G7. Plus it can scan music into other MIDI software such as sequencers. You can even use it on its own to scan in, play back, transpose and print scores, and even save audio files. PhotoScore Ultimate reads printed and handwritten music in seconds - not just the notes, but also printed slurs, dynamics, lyrics, guitar tab, chord diagrams and more. You can then edit or transpose the music, play it back, extract the parts and print - just as if you'd input it yourself.
More than 15 years experience in recognition technologies have enabled us to design and create the formidable OmniScore˛™ dual-engine recognition system, incredibly making PhotoScore Ultimate 6 over 99.5% accurate on most originals!
PhotoScore Ultimate 6 picks out virtually every detail and even recognizes 4 and 6 line guitar tablature, 1, 2 and 3 line percussion staves. It is the world's first and only commercial program available that is also designed to read handwritten scores.
Ease-of-use has been a central design aim right from the start, and with automatic scanning and recognition, plus licensed Sibelius- and G7-style editing interfaces, PhotoScore Ultimate 6 even becomes fun and exciting to use!
