In their own words
Melody Scanner
Melody Scanner automatically turns songs into sheet music. Users can record an instrument, import MIDI, MusicXML or MP3 files, or generate scores from YouTube videos. Scores can be edited in classical notation, piano roll or guitar tabs views, with PDF export available. Listed modes include piano, guitar, flute, violin, saxophone, bass, singing and chords. The maker says piano mode supports polyphony, velocity and hand separation, with accuracy up to 86%; smart editing can help transpose scores and label chords. The app runs in a browser without installation and is also listed for iOS and Android. The free plan allows recordings up to one minute and sheets limited to 40 bars or about two minutes. Monthly access is $9.99 a month; the yearly subscription is $49.99 a year, billed annually. Paid plans list recording up to five minutes, full sheets and MIDI/MusicXML export. The product currently supports solo instruments, not bands or orchestras.
