Page2Play vs SnapNotes

Got a keyboard at home but never learned to read sheet music? Page2Play turns any printed score into a playable practice piece. Scan or photograph the page, touch up the recognition in a built-in notation editor, and play the song by watching falling bars on a synced piano keyboard, with no note-reading required. Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-in, no internet required for the core flow. Your scans, MIDI, and practice settings never leave your phone. CAPTURE • Import a scanned page (PNG, JPG, or pages exported from a PDF). Flat, evenly lit scans give the cleanest recognition. • Phone photos also work when scans aren't available; expect more cleanup in the editor on noisy phone shots. • Or skip recognition entirely and import existing MIDI or MusicXML. A REAL EDITOR, NOT JUST A VIEWER Recognition is rarely perfect, so Page2Play ships with the tools to fix anything the recognizer missed, right on the phone, with no desktop round-trip: • Tap a note and change its pitch. • Change the key signature when the recognizer guessed wrong. • Change the time signature per measure. • Insert or delete measures anywhere in the score. • Wrap notes into tuplets (triplets and other 3:2 groupings). • Multi-page navigation with per-page editing. • Undo and redo across the whole session. • Export to MusicXML (round-trip with desktop notation software), MIDI, or PDF, either a single page or the entire score. PRACTICE WITHOUT READING • Falling bars: notes drop onto a piano keyboard at the speed you choose. Watch the bars, press the matching keys on your piano. That's it. • Mute either hand to focus on the other. • A/B loop any passage until it clicks. • Slow it down or speed it up while keeping the pitch intact. • No MIDI cable? Play along on any acoustic or digital piano and Page2Play listens through the microphone. A Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard also connects, for the tightest timing. • Listen back with a built-in upright-piano sound. • Score mode: play a song on your MIDI keyboard or through the microphone for a graded run, with accuracy, combo, and a full-combo goal, plus your best score saved per song. • Practice stats: daily practice time, a running streak, and per-song totals for plays, time, and best score. RECOGNITION PIPELINE Page2Play uses an on-device optical music recognition pipeline trained on printed scores. It handles multi-staff piano music, key and time signatures, rests, ties, accidentals, and clef changes. Recognition takes roughly a minute or two per page depending on your device and whether GPU acceleration is enabled (Settings, then GPU acceleration). PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. • Optional crash reporting (Sentry) sends only stack traces, with no images, no MIDI, and no titles. • No data is uploaded for model training or any other purpose. Full privacy policy: https://page2play.app/privacy WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone with a keyboard at home and a song they want to play, who never got around to learning to read music, or got rusty. • Self-taught players who learn by watching, not by reading. • People with a stack of sheet music collecting dust. WHAT YOU NEED • A mobile phone. • A piano or keyboard to play along on (any acoustic, digital, or MIDI controller works; Page2Play tells you what to press, you press it). • A clean scan (PNG, JPG, or PDF page export) works best for recognition. • Optional: a Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard for the most responsive play-along. The microphone works fine without one.
