Android apps in music education, to this point, have not been very abundant, whereas the iOS app selection for music education apps is overwhelming. Perhaps that is because Android programming is more similar to desktop programming than iOS or perhaps the iOS approval process is longer. Now, what I find interesting is that both Musitek and Neuratron have adopted an Android-first process (although the iOS version of NotateMe came out within weeks of the Android version). This is going to be even more true with coming 64-bit processors in all our mobile devices. For me, this includes the tasks of writing music by hand (right on the tablet), playing music into the app (with an attached instrument), or scanning a paper copy of music (taking pictures of each page, converting to music notation). There is a time coming–in the VERY near future–where a desktop computer will no longer be needed to notate music. It is about time for music scanning companies to take advantage of mobile devices for their software, particularly as a camera (of high quality) is attached to the device and the guessing game of scanner quality will no longer be an issue. I hope the plan isn’t to force the user back to the computer–that defeats the purpose.Īt the same time, Neuratron has just released a music handwriting recognition app, NotateMe (app link with referral), which also promises to add PhotoScore capability to the app in the near future. The text from the Facebook post indicates that this was using Musitek’s NoteReader App on Android, and apparently you still need to pull the data captured from the app into SmartScore itself to edit the data (no indication if NoteReader can export as a MusicXML file to another program instead). I did notice, at the time, that Musitek was promising “mobile devices” in 2013 (see below): The header from Musitek (captured )Ī techinmusiced reader sent me a post from Musitek that was on Facebook today: From the Musitek Facebook page (captured ) I had also purchased Neuratron’s PhotoScore Ultimate, and on the pieces I used for comparison, PhotoScore Ultimate did a better job of scanning than SmartScore Pro X2, so I chose not to buy the upgrade ($99). I own SmartScore Pro X, and downloaded the demo. In January 2013, Musitek released its latest version of its music scanning/recognition software, Smart Score Pro X2.
