Default Re: Interest survey for including a scanning/OCR feature in Notation Composer -reply

Hi all,

First of all thanks to all the comments.

We have been investigating the concept of scanning using the scanning engine of SharpEye 2 (which also made it partly into PhotoScore) for several months. The findings about the scanning quality are pretty close to what has been reported here in this thread. In addition we had negotiations with the Visiv Ltd, a UK company which is owned by Neuratron Ltd about licensing the engine. Unfortunately we were unable to reach agreement on the license pricing and other conditions. The required license prices, the upfront costs as well as our own development expenses for an integration simply do not justify such an integrated feature.

We therefore decided not to further pursue this feature option of an integrated scanning feature any longer. We will focus our energy on MusicXML import and the next new format of MNX.

Reinhold
