"PhotoScore Ultimate 6 is fantastic. I use it all the time to update my tunes files."

Phil Woods - NEA Jazz Master. More...


More than 16 years experience in recognition technologies have enabled us to design and create the formidable OmniScore²™ 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-style editing interfaces, PhotoScore Ultimate 6 even becomes fun and exciting to use!

To make your choice simple, we offer two distinct versions: PhotoScore Ultimate 6, our flagship product, boasts the latest technology and includes a complete set of features. PhotoScore MIDI Lite 5 is priced very low and is recommended for those with minimal music scanning requirements.
