Turn printed sheet music into an accurate, editable score in seconds, right from your iPhone or iPad. Snap a photo of a page, import a PDF, or add images from Photos or Files, and Opuscan gives you clean MusicXML and MIDI ready for the notation app or DAW you already use. No sign-in, no subscription: you pay only for the pages you convert. MUSIC AI THAT ACTUALLY READS MUSIC Opuscan runs on Tutteo's own optical music recognition model, built and trained in-house and served from our cloud. It doesn't just spot symbols on the page, it reads and understands the music on the staff, so the details that make a score correct come through far more often. Powerful cloud GPUs do the work, so every conversion is fast and always uses our newest, most accurate model. FROM PAGE TO EDITABLE SCORE IN FIVE STEPS 1. Import: snap a photo, open a PDF, or add images from Photos or Files 2. Pages: reorder, rotate, and crop 3. Convert: see exactly what it costs before anything runs 4. Review: confirm the title, score language, and each part's instrument and transposition, with a confidence hint on every guess 5. Export: save as MusicXML or MIDI, or send it straight to your editor WORKS WITH THE APPS YOU LOVE Hand your score to a notation editor (MuseScore, Dorico, Sibelius, Flat, or Finale) or drop the MIDI into your DAW (Logic Pro, GarageBand, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, or Reaper). PAY ONLY FOR WHAT YOU CONVERT No subscription. Buy a pack of page credits, spend them only when you convert, and always see the price up front. Credits never expire. BUILT FOR PRINTED AND ENGRAVED MUSIC Opuscan shines on printed and digitally engraved music: solo parts, grand-staff pieces, full multi-instrument scores, and lead sheets with chords. For the sharpest results, use clean, high-resolution pages that sit upright and flat, and keep one piece per file. An internet connection is required. Handwritten music and tablature are not supported. YOUR MUSIC STAYS YOURS We train the model on synthetic scores from our own engraving engine and public-domain music. Your scores, uploads, and private work are never used for training. Bring your printed music to life. Scan, convert, and keep composing. QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK? Reach us at hello@opuscan.com
