There's a newer product, Soundslice, which uses AI to have much more accurate sheet music scanning.

Newzik works great too!

Thank you for commenting and suggesting the Soundslice program.

PDFtoMusic Pro is the best pdf files created by music notation software: for Function and Price. It also has a batch mode converter option to handle 1000s of pdfs at a time. Though large documents causes it to crash. Which they ask for feedback and will respond to you. Like with all converters apps which claim to handle images based pdfs or non-music notation created pdfs don't waste your time using them. Do them by hand or expect long clean-up hours for large documents. Presently, looking to see if A I is working on a solution.

I appreciate you sharing your experience with PDFtoMusic Pro. It's truly intriguing to contemplate the potential contribution of Artificial Intelligence in seeking solutions. I'm eager to witness how technology will continue to enhance the conversion of PDFs to musicXML.

My only problem is that it costs over $200, and doesn’t work the best for that price, in my experience with the trial I had to go back and edit almost everything anyways, so it’s 200 bucks for something that doesn’t even work the best

Determining whether the $200 value for Capella Scan is justifiable involves a subjective assessment, in which factors such as the economic context, personal financial conditions, necessity, preferences, and availability of alternatives play prominent roles in this analysis. In summary, the perception of the adequacy of this value varies considerably among individuals: while some consider it excessively high, others deem it reasonable due to the benefits offered by the software. The task of setting a price for a product is highly complex and requires considering various economic scenarios, with the market being the predominant factor in the final outcome of the value. However, it's essential to highlight that, although $200 might seem a reasonable amount in certain regions and for certain people, it's crucial to recognize that in countries with devalued currencies, like Brazil, this amount can have a significant impact. The disparity in purchasing power among nations underscores the need to employ pricing strategies that are more sensitive to local economic conditions, thus ensuring global accessibility of technological products. As for the effectiveness of the Capella Scan tool, this can vary significantly depending on the context of its application and the user's level of knowledge. My experience with the program has undoubtedly been positive, as I achieved all the goals I had set. A concrete example of this is the successful conversion of 25 studies by Mateus Carcasci, originally in PDF format, into XML format, resulting in an excellent final product that required only minimal adjustments. Continuous practice and familiarity with the tool not only enhance the final result but also develop the ability to deal more effectively with limitations and potential issues.

@christianboekhout3475 Thank you very much for commenting. Yes, I use artificial intelligence, especially ChatGPT. It helps me significantly improve my texts by organizing my ideas, rephrasing sentences, and correcting grammar. I also use it to translate my texts into English (including this one). Thanks to AI, I am able to communicate more efficiently.

@@Iebaxos Thank you for your comment. However, even with the help of a translator, I couldn't fully understand your message. Could you possibly rephrase or provide more details? This way, I’ll be able to respond more accurately.

01:23 This AI voiced guy lost me when he thought he had to read each and every format supported by Capella Scan. Geeze! 🥴😵😵‍💫

[@atilalopescoelho]

You are right; this part of the video didn’t turn out well because the list of file formats supported by the program is quite extensive. Asking the AI to read the complete list made the video longer than necessary. I confess I felt a bit sad to learn that you stopped watching it because of this small detail. I know my video is very simple and that it doesn’t have editing (since I still don’t master that skill); however, I can assure you that it was made with a lot of love and care, with the sole purpose of helping people convert their scores to MusicXML in the best possible way.

£200 for software that doesn't work. No thank you. £5 for Newzik, works amazingly.

Hello! Thank you for your comment and for sharing your opinion. Exchanging ideas is always enriching! Determining whether $200 for Capella Scan is justified is a subjective matter, where factors such as the economic context, personal financial situation, need, preferences, and availability of alternatives are key. In other words, the perception of the software's value varies among individuals: some may find the price high, while others consider it reasonable given the benefits offered. Setting a product's price is a complex task involving various economic factors, with the market being one of the main determinants. However, it is important to note that while $200 may be reasonable for some regions and individuals, this amount can have a significant impact in countries with devalued currencies, such as Brazil. The disparity in purchasing power between nations highlights the need for pricing strategies that are more sensitive to local economic conditions, aiming to ensure greater global accessibility to technological products.

A clear example was the successful conversion of the 25 studies by Matteo Carcassi from PDF to XML, resulting in a high-quality final product that required only minimal adjustments. Practice and familiarity with the software certainly enhance the results and help to handle possible limitations better. Finally, thank you for suggesting Newzik - maybe I’ll try it in the future. The fact that it costs only $5 caught my attention. It would be great if all programs had a price like that!
