meets with only the slimmest chances of success, and more often than not it is almost faster to input the music by hand (provided you're already a seasoned veteran with your notation package of choice). In my experience, anything OCR'ed from such a score other than Haydn, Czerny, Mozart etc.

While better than nothing, the fix-up time alone probably exceeds the cost of having the whole thing put into Sibelius or Finale fresh.Įven using their recommended settings, the chances of a mildly successful import using both the product you mentioned and at least 2 other major players I use is hand engraving, in that engraved scores, for the reasons Carolus mentioned et al, are wildly variant. Thus, the best result I was ever able to obtain about 2 years ago was about a 60% accuracy - for dealing with a very run-of-the-mill item like a Breitkopf vocal score for a Beethoven Mass. The same problem applies with positions of noteheads and other symbols, etc. How well does Photoscore 6 work with grayscales in the real world? One of the tech-support people for Sharp-Eye I talked with mentioned that a real problem music-OCR software has in dealing with hand-produced music is that the staves, for example, aren't perfectly evenly spaced (despite appearing OK to the naked eye).

Large file sizes also end up requiring more bandwidth.

The main reason is file size, which covers two aspects: 1) most of the world is still on dialup, so large files can be a real problem 2) storage space, which starts to add up when you've got an ever-expanding archive (now at 41,000 files).
