## Description

Sheet Music Scanner lets you scan printed sheet music or upload PDFs, then instantly listen as notes are played in your chosen instrument and tempo. Tap any measure to hear that section with highlights synchronized to playback, and switch instruments, speeds, and voices for flexible practice.

Export options include MIDI, MusicXML, audio formats, and PDF, with cloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud Drive. It supports multiple pages and voices, a broad instrument library, and adjustable tempo (50-330 BPM). Limitations: reads standard notation only, not handwriting, and some symbols are not supported yet.
