Music Scanning Software
Musescore has in the file menu an option to import PDF files, and I believe I recall from Version 3X that it was using Audiveris for the OCR recognition. Is that still the same in version 4X?
Also, I noticed today in Musehub that there is a paid app called Sheet Music Scanner. I have seen no announcement about it. What do we know about that app (is it the mobile app), what company is providing it? How does it's accuracy compare to the built-in process, or to other available 3rd party programs, such as Photoscore, SmartScore Pro 64 NE, ScanScore Professional, etc??

OK, so that is the same process as on version 3. I am also asking about the paid ($24.99) ad-on app named Sheet Music Scanner which is showing on MuseHub. If you Google that name, there is a mobile app for phone/tablet on the Apple App Store which is free with in-app purchases in IOS and $4.49 on Google Play. However, since the icon is different, along with the price, I am trying to ascertain what EXACTLY is the app on MuseHub. There is really zero information about it to research whether it is worth $24.99, or how it compares to other available software, as noted in my OP. I am not willing to just install something blindly, especially an app that costs that much.

That's on MuseHub. Perhaps you should inquire there. This site is about MuseScore Studio, the notation software.

I had already read that, but as noted in my other reply, the pricing is way different in MuseHub, and the icon/avatar is different, so it is impossible to know exactly what one is purchasing for $24.99.

The one from Muse Hub (Halbestunde) is not reviewed in the article.
Perhaps someone tried it.
I tried 'Sheet Music Scanner' at $4.49 on Android from the test, but that one not usable for my needs.

Ahhh.... The MuseHub screen gives the appearance that they are showing two different apps. Halbestunde seems to just scan to MIDI, which I do not need either.
