 WHY OMR

Skip the typing. Skip the mistakes.

A 4-page score takes 20 minutes to manually enter in any notation app. ScoreFlip does it in twelve seconds.

Handwritten OK

Trained on millions of handwritten manuscripts, including composer drafts and student work.

96% accuracy

On printed scores. Edge cases get confidence scores so you can review before exporting.

Multi-page PDF

Drop a full PDF — every page is detected, ordered, and merged into one MIDI file.

Grand staff

Treble + bass clef parsed together. Hand-splits, octave changes, ledger lines all handled.

 HOW IT WORKS

Photo to MIDI in three steps.

No notation software, no manual entry, no signup.

01 CAPTURE

Photograph or upload.

Phone camera works fine. Crumpled paper, low light, faded ink — we deskew, denoise, and binarize before reading.

02 RECOGNIZE

OMR reads the page.

Staves, clefs, key signatures, time signatures, notes, rests, ties, accidentals, dynamics, beams — all detected. Confidence scored.

03 EXPORT

Download as .mid.

Standard MIDI File ready for your DAW. Or pivot to MusicXML, audio, or piano-roll video — one click each.

 QUESTIONS

About image-to-MIDI conversion

Can I convert a photo of sheet music to MIDI?

Yes. ScoreFlip's image-to-MIDI converter accepts photos taken with your phone camera, scanned images, screenshots, and multi-page PDFs. The output is a Standard MIDI File compatible with every DAW.

Does it work with handwritten sheet music?

Yes. ScoreFlip's OMR model is trained on millions of handwritten manuscripts — composer drafts, student work, handwritten lead sheets. Accuracy is around 89% on clean handwriting, with confidence scores surfaced so you can review uncertain notes before exporting.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone camera default), WebP, TIFF, and PDF. Multi-page PDFs are processed in order and merged into a single MIDI file. Maximum 25 MB on the free tier.

How accurate is the optical music recognition?

About 96% on printed scores and 89% on handwriting, across our test set. The model handles standard Western notation including grand staff piano, lead sheets, solo instrument parts, and ensemble scores up to four staves.

Does it handle lyrics, dynamics, articulations?

Yes. Dynamics (p, mf, ff), articulations (staccato, accent, marcato), tempo markings, key signatures, time signatures, repeats, voltas, and lyric text are all recognized. They're included in the MusicXML and PDF outputs; MIDI captures the performance data.

Why is the transcription wrong in places?

Most often: photo glare, low resolution, or unusual notation. Try a flatter, sharper shot. ScoreFlip surfaces confidence scores per measure so you know which sections to review before exporting.

Can I edit the transcription before downloading?

In the iOS, Android, and desktop apps, yes — full note-by-note editing. The web tool is read-only for now; export the MusicXML and edit in Finale, Sibelius, Dorico, or MuseScore.
