Page2Play

Have a keyboard at home but can't read sheet music? Scan the score, polish the recognition, and play it by watching falling bars on a synced piano. No reading required.

Got a keyboard at home but never learned to read sheet music? Page2Play turns any printed score into a playable practice piece. Scan or photograph the page, touch up the recognition in a built-in notation editor, and play the song by watching falling bars on a synced piano keyboard — no note-reading required.

Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-in, no internet required for the core flow. Your scans, MIDI, and practice settings never leave your phone.

— Capture —

• Import a scanned page (PNG, JPG, or pages exported from a PDF). Flat, evenly lit scans give the cleanest recognition. • Phone photos also work when scans aren't available; expect more cleanup in the editor on noisy phone shots. • Or skip recognition entirely and import existing MIDI or MusicXML.

— A real editor, not just a viewer —

Recognition is rarely perfect, so Page2Play ships with the tools to fix anything the recognizer missed — right on the phone, no desktop round-trip:

• Tap a note and change its pitch. • Change the key signature when the recognizer guessed wrong. • Change the time signature per measure. • Insert or delete measures anywhere in the score. • Wrap notes into tuplets (triplets and other 3:2 groupings). • Multi-page navigation with per-page editing. • Undo / redo across the whole session. • Export to MusicXML (round-trip with desktop notation software), MIDI, or PDF — single page or the entire score.

— Practice without reading —

• Falling bars: notes drop onto a piano keyboard at the speed you choose. Watch the bars, press the matching keys on your piano. That's it. • Mute either hand to focus on the other. • A/B loop any passage until it clicks. • Slow it down or speed it up while keeping the pitch intact. • Connect a Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard and play along — Page2Play listens and shows you what you played. • Listen back with a built-in upright-piano soundfont.

— Recognition pipeline —

Page2Play uses an on-device optical music recognition pipeline trained on printed scores. It handles multi-staff piano music, key and time signatures, rests, ties, accidentals, and clef changes. Recognition takes roughly a minute or two per page depending on your device and whether GPU acceleration is enabled (Settings → GPU acceleration).

— Privacy by design —

• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. • Optional crash reporting (Sentry) sends only stack traces — no images, no MIDI, no titles. • No data is uploaded for model training or any other purpose.

— Who it's for —

• Anyone with a keyboard at home and a song they want to play, who never got around to learning to read music — or got rusty. • Self-taught players who learn by watching, not by reading. • People with a stack of sheet music collecting dust.

— What you need —

• An iPhone running iOS 13 or later. • A piano or keyboard to play along on (any acoustic, digital, or MIDI controller works — Page2Play tells you what to press, you press it). • A clean scan (PNG, JPG, or PDF page export) works best for recognition. • Optional: a Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard if you want the app to listen and show you what you played.
