Sight Reading Factory makes practicing the important skill of sight reading quick, easy, effective and fun! This app composes music instantly and on-demand, providing musicians with a virtually unlimited supply of sight reading material. There are multiple levels of difficulty and the exercises can even be customized exactly to the needs of the musician. Sight Reading Factory is very versatile and can be used by musicians of all ages and abilities including music educators, music students, casual musicians and even professional musicians. Sight reading exercises can be generated for piano, guitar, voice, woodwinds, brass, strings, percussion and even full ensembles. Teachers and students can also use the built-in classroom management and assignments feature for assessment. Teachers can organize students into classes/groups and create assignments for them. Students complete assignments by generating a sight reading exercise and recording themselves performing the exercise. The assignment can then be submitted back to the teacher to grade and leave feedback.

Most pianists stop playing. Not because they can't play — because nothing tells them they are getting better, and after a while they decide they never will. Progress is too slow to hear. Day to day, nothing changes. You are inside your own playing, and you have nothing to compare it to except the memory of yesterday, which is a bad witness. Étude fixes that one thing. WHAT IT DOES Every take, kept Put your phone on the piano and play. Each take is recorded, dated, and drawn as a trace — a shape made from the sound you actually produced. Nothing to fill in, nothing to rate. Day 1 against today Your first recording of a piece and your latest one, laid over each other and played back to back. Not a chart telling you what to think. Your own playing, months apart, one after the other. Three months on one screen Every trace of a piece in a single grid, oldest to newest. Pick any two and compare them. Share the difference Export a still card with both traces and both dates, ready to send to whoever has been asking how it is going. WHO IT'S FOR Adults coming back to the piano after years away. Students between lessons. Anyone who practises alone and has no idea whether it is working. HOW IT WORKS Put your phone on the piano. Press record. Play. Name the piece afterwards. That's it. PRIVACY Your recordings stay on your device. No account, no sign-up, no upload. You can delete everything at once from Settings. ÉTUDE FULL Recording, traces and playback are free and unlimited, forever. Étude Full adds two things: comparing takes of a piece beyond the first ten, and the export card without the Étude mark. $14.99 a month, or $119.99 a year with a one-week free trial.
