AnthemScore
What it is
AnthemScore uses AI to turn audio into sheet music, PDF, or MIDI. Its desktop app applies machine learning to detect notes, percussion, beats, and instruments, then lets users edit notes, measures, signatures, and tempo. Playback can be slowed without changing pitch, and scores can be formatted for selected instruments, key, range, and staff, including tablature. AnthemScore Web accepts audio or MIDI and offers PDF, MusicXML, and MIDI output. Listed web inputs include MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, MP4, and MID, as well as microphone recording. Desktop downloads are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux and require a 64-bit laptop or desktop. The free web plan provides a 14-day full-song trial and then unlimited 30-second clips. AnthemScore Web Plus costs $8.33 a month billed annually, and Web Pro costs $24.99 a month billed annually. Desktop one-time plans range from $29, paid once for Lite to $99, paid once for Studio. The FAQ says vocals and chords are not currently detected, DRM-protected files do not work, and music not tuned to standard A440 may be processed inaccurately.
