SmartScore NoteReader

On capture it does not recognize the cameras orientation, therefore cannot capture the page. In other words it does not orient properly in the direction of the pointing hand. Top of camera is not top of page. If captured in this way recognition function appears to atempt on a sideways page and fails.

Absolutely worthless. Don't waste your time. The one singular time I got it to actually process anbimage, it sounded nothing like what was written on the page.

I really tried hard to make this app work, but it either wouldn't recognise a photo or it froze.

Doesn't recognize anything

Terrible

It won't play back the music I took a picture of, and I can't even make a score.

I have not been able to get it to recognize any pdf file i have given it on either my Samsung tab 3 or my s5 phone. As others have said using the camera to capture a page of music seems very hard given the funny rotation thing it does on both devices. What i have taken it can't recognize on either device. I encourage you developers to keep working at it cause its a brilliant idea and i feel sure it can work.

The PDF reader doesn't work. Even after downloading the second app that it wants you to download, it gets stuck on the "recognizing" stage and the loading bar doesn't even reach 1/4 of the way through. And I waited fifteen minutes but it never completes "recognizing" the clean PDF (which was only 3 pages long).

I love the idea, but I could not get it to read any PDF score I gave it. It did the TIFF operation and said it was doing recognition, but froze every time. I have an Elipsis 7 running 4.2.2

Have tried the inbuilt capture which is difficult on the nexus 6p as the image seems to be inverted. Have also tried using office lens to take a decent image but the app does not seen able to process the clean JPEG or the PDF produced. Such a shame.

Good to see mobile app. Like what I hear so far. Seems to work well on the Samsung Galaxy S7.

On android 5 I cannot email or send to Dropbox

very difficult to use - camera at 90° - played only a few unrecognizable notes - after 1 use icon only goes to store - not worth the effort - btw bad reviews outnumber good 2 to 1.

I got this to work through taking a picture but when I attempted the same file as a pdf, it would just crash. The uploading bar would just stop. I would close the app & try again but the app picks up from where it left off. Wouldn't give me the option of cancelling the tune & resorting to taking pictures again. Even tried to upload a new pdf but it wouldn't let me. The only way I could play with it was by constantly uninstalling it. Gave it 2 stars cause I did get to hear it work.

I gave it a totally clean PDF of a brand new score of 2 soprano sections that was a page and a half long and it just spent it just locked up in a half an hour later I gave up and restarted the computer this is on a Samsung tablet

Capture does not work on my nvidia sheild or my galaxy note3, both take pictures in JPG format and the app need them to be in TIFF format, I cannot import a PDF from my emails because to see the PDF I have to download it, and SS will not import them, the camera is in mirror image IE left = right / up = down. Even the pc desk top version will not work correctly, even if I scan an image in jpeg and convert to TIFF,

Froze when trying to import any pdf, even single printed pages, with no header. Instantly failed to recognize when trying to capture, even though the sheet was lighted well and the image looked clean. Tested on Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Kit Kat, 12/13/2015.

This app use to work for me, now it doesn't recognise pdf and import images as accurately. (Same source file being used). Nor is it as accurate in its capture mode. Their computer software is more robust.

Seems to be a bug with the camera... Will only let it take portrait. Even if I manage to get a clear pic it doesn't play even the simplest music. Worked somewhat on my bros iPhone.

I now understand why there have been a lot of complaints and frustrations from people who can't get this app to work. 1. The camera orientation and preview is distorted. Although the hand is pointed to the right direction, the image preview is in landscape and slanted just like the Star Wars opening lines. 2. I tried opening an original PDF music file and it cannot open it. Conclusion: The app needs an update. After all the complaints the users have raised, don't you think it's about time to check it?

I'm starting to wonder if this app is simply spyware in the guise of a useful app because it doesn't work. Against my better judgement I even downloaded the ADDITIONAL app they don't mention till after u download BTW - that they say 'make it work,' and go figure it still dosnt work. Checked my file manager noticed a new item called trck.trc or something like that - wasn't there before hmmm wtf is that? I tried to upload pdf s and images the program couldn't process a single one I tried.

The in-app camera does not take pictures at all, and it won't open other pictures. It does recognize PDFs, but it stays stuck in the recognition phase. It may not be compatible with my tablet, but that would have been nice to know before I wasted so much time on it. I used the tips and tricks guide multiple times, and it did not work. I was nice enough to give it two stars but took it back after such a rude reply from the makers. I don't know how they expect to get any business if they don't even hear out what the users have to say.

Well you see I probably would like it, if I could use it... Every time I try to take a picture, the screen is black and when I do take the picture, automatically, it says the the all isn't working right so... Good idea, horrible execution...

As others have noted, the app locks when trying to recognize a pdf. Also locks when pdf to tiff conversation app is used. The pdfs have been created from a scanned image 600dpi. Very disappointed as I have converted much of my choral music to pdf and loaded on my tablet. Originals have been scanned from original scores, and are as short as a single page.

Is this a bad joke? The picture taking part of the app rotates the image 90 degrees and then distorts it! The recognition part took nearly five minutes to complete and then played just TWO notes! I have been a SmartScore user for several years but this app trashes their reputation in just a few minutes. Worst download I have EVER tried.

Great idea. Rotated & distorted scans. Strange extended rests in playback. Not useful.

Unbelievably difficult to take the picture since the image is rotated (only happens with this app). I feel like I'm trying to fly an RC Heli. Fails every single time. I know, I know, camera, processor, image quality, blah, blah, blah (Nexus 6, BTW). If it takes a professional photographer with lighting, tripod, etc, I might as well get my happy rear into my laptop and work there. It really needs improvement. I would pay $10 in a heartbeat if it in fact worked.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 a phone that has a high quality camera (One of the highest of all current Android devices). The fact that the in app camera lowers the imaga quality, distorts images, and essentially makes it impossible to take a picture annoys me. I tried importing my own PDFs and Images but they do not even get recognized. I really want the developers to fix this because I can't even get through importing one page.

I am guessing you threw this POS together only to try and lure Android users over to your Windows product page.. Cam produces the sharpest image possible, but yet no recognition because you are forcing the pic to be taken 90 degrees rotated to the normal portrait layout of a musical score...

Marvelous idea, but the implementation is so bad it's virtually unusable.

Not good , doesn't work and lost a lot off time!!!

I've been waiting for months for your app to come out and was excited to see that it is now available. I read the terrible reviews but decided to install it anyway. It worked flawlessly! Beautiful music! I believe the problem others are having is with the camera on their phones. I have a Moto X and it takes great pictures. Anyway, your app is fantastic! Thanks for all your hard work.

Slow recognition process

It reads all music notes

Wasted $10

I've been waiting for so long for this app but it didn't have the features that I want such as opening .enf files and .mid files. I will rate 5 stars if my wish is granted.

When I try to scan a PDF it stucks at the recognition process.

I get recognition failed everytime. I have to force stop it too after every snap.
