Note Recognition: Sheet Music

What Note Recognition: Sheet Music is

Note Recognition: Sheet Music records singing or a melodic instrument and converts the detected notes into readable sheet music. It is intended for clear, single-note melodies, with examples including vocals, piano, guitar, violin, flute, saxophone, trumpet, and clarinet. Chords and separating multiple instruments or a full mix are not supported. Scores can show treble clef, bass clef, or both, with note names, measures, rests, accidentals, beams, and ties. You can correct recognized notes by changing pitch or timing, deleting notes, or adjusting confidence, then compare your recording with MIDI playback of the detected notes.

The app also includes a chromatic tuner, a live pitch detector, and a metronome with tempos from 30 to 240 BPM. The Free plan allows recordings up to 20 seconds, three saved recordings, a preview of the first complete measure, and manual note correction. Pro supports recordings up to five minutes, importing WAV, MP3, M4A, or AAC files, viewing the full score, and exporting MIDI and WAV, with unlimited saved recordings. Pro costs $7.99, paid once. The app is available on Android and iOS and is published by mystage.fm UG (haftungsbeschränkt), whose listed address is in Munich, Germany. Google Play says data is encrypted in transit and that the app may collect audio; Apple's listing says the developer reports that it does not collect data, and notes Apple has not verified that information.

Who it suits

This app suits singers and instrumentalists who want to turn a clear, single-note melody into editable sheet music. It can also help musicians who want a tuner, live pitch detector, or metronome alongside transcription.

Limits

The Free plan permits recordings up to 20 seconds and up to three saved recordings, and shows only the first complete measure. Pro allows recordings up to five minutes and unlimited saved recordings.

Verdict

Choose Note Recognition: Sheet Music if you need to transcribe a clear, single-note vocal or instrumental melody and want to correct the resulting notes. Pro adds longer recordings, audio-file import, full scores, and export tools. Look elsewhere if your source is chords, multiple instruments, or a full mix.
