Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about how Music Scanner works, supported sheet music formats, and playback instruments.
How does song identification work in Music Scanner?
Music Scanner uses a dual-engine architecture: Shazam audio fingerprinting matches official studio recordings in seconds with full track info and album artwork, while advanced multimodal AI and lyrics transcription analyze vocal timbre, melody lines, chord progressions, and lyrics to identify songs — even from live humming, vocal snippets, or acoustic covers.
How does the sheet music scanner convert scores into playable music?
Simply point your camera at any printed score, lead sheet, grand staff, or guitar tablature (or upload an image). Our AI-powered Optical Music Recognition (OMR) analyzes staves, key signatures, accidentals, and rhythm to generate standard ABC notation. The app renders interactive sheet music on your screen and converts it to audio using our cloud synthesizer engine.
What practice tools and synthesizer controls are included?
Music Scanner includes a pro practice suite featuring 128 General MIDI instruments (grand pianos, strings, brass, woodwinds, guitars, synths, and choir). You can customize tempo (BPM), transpose pitch by +/- 12 semitones into any key, toggle arpeggiation for chords, and fine-tune reverb ambience, chorus, and stereo panning.
What is the 'Refine with AI' feature for sheet music?
If a score is blurry, damaged, or contains missing notes, 'Refine with AI' uses advanced AI to analyze the musical theme, recognize the song, correct notation syntax and measure durations, and even apply creative modifications based on your text instructions (such as 'transpose to G major' or 'make the bass line jazzier').
Can I upload audio files and sheet music images directly?
Yes! In addition to live microphone listening and camera document scanning, you can upload audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, MP4) for song identification or image files (JPG, PNG) for sheet music transcription.
Does Music Scanner save my history and allow sharing?
Yes. Every identified song, scanned sheet music score, and customized synthesizer arrangement is automatically backed up to your personal cloud library with offline audio caching. You can also generate deep links to share playable scores and identified tracks directly with friends.
Is Music Scanner free to use and what platforms are supported?
Music Scanner is available for free download on iOS (iPhone & iPad) from the Apple App Store and on Android from the Google Play Store. Free scans and song identifications are included, with optional subscription options for unlimited scans, advanced AI refinement, and ad-free access.
