SharpEye

What is SharpEye?

SharpEye Music Reader converts a scanned image of printed music into a MIDI file, a NIFF file, or a MusicXML file. It allows direct scanning from TWAIN compatible scanners, which includes most scanners. The user can simply drag an image file into a window, click a button, and wait for the conversion to take place. The output is then shown in conventional music notation in another window, and the user can click another button to save the result as a MIDI file While the output may contain some errors, SharpEye has a built-in editor that allows the user to correct them using the mouse and delete key. The input image window automatically scrolls to the right place in the image as the user edits. SharpEye also provides warnings for each bar that doesn't make musical sense, acting as a spellchecker and directing the user's attention to likely errors. However, SharpEye does not handle handwritten music
