About ScoreCloud

ScoreCloud is a suite of music notation tools developed by Doremir Music Research AB. It consists of three products: ScoreCloud Studio (full-featured notation software for Windows and Mac), ScoreCloud Songwriter (automatic lead sheet creation from audio, including MP3 and YouTube), and ScoreCloud Express (mobile app for iPhone/iPad that notates melodies by humming or singing). All products use proprietary music cognition technology to transcribe audio and MIDI into sheet music. ScoreCloud Studio offers deep editing with multi-staff layouts, articulations, dynamics, repeats, rehearsal marks, lyrics, and chord symbols, plus exports to PDF, MusicXML, and MIDI. Songwriter can separate melody from accompaniment, transpose, change tempo, and generate karaoke tracks. The software is free to start (10 saved songs for Studio and Express; 10-day trial for Songwriter), with paid subscriptions (Plus $5.99/month, Songwriter $11.99/month, Pro $20.99/month) removing limits and adding advanced features like batch MIDI analysis and local saving.
