Software recommendations needed: 1) Audio to sheet software 2) notespeller?
Greetings!
1) Can anyone recommend reliable audio to sheet transcription? I've tried Anthem Score, Klang.io, Piano2Score, and even with lots of quantization tweaking can't get something to come out with rhythmic accuracy audio file is completely robotic and simplified. It would really help my student composers who are not academically musically literate; for them to conceptualize and notate complex syncopated rhythms is impossible.
2) Which software is used for "notespeller" versions of music? I have seen these in community scores on Musescore, but in searching Help and the manual, see that Musescore does not enable this feature, and I have not found it in playing with the software can anyone clarify? This would be great for creating works my beginner students where literacy is not yet reached.
Really appreciate your reply.
Thanks, Rosanna

The answer is money. It would be done immediately if there was big money to be made from this. But there is none. AI is doing surgery because they make fortunes with it.

1) You asked for "reliable audio to sheet transcription". "There ain't no sech animal" Except for extremely simple audio files, computers at this time simply cannot separate out the mix of sounds to transcribe recorded sound. Personally, I suspect that this will be many years away, but it's always possible that there could be a breakthrough of some kind that makes it possible for computers.
At this time and for the foreseeable future, the best way to transcribe a recorded piece of music is to get a skilled human to do it.
2) Sorry, don't know anything about "notespeller", as you called it. *shrug*
Although not automatic, 'Transcribe!' from 'Seventh String Software' can certainly help as it can at least analyse for you where the notes are. Its also a really useful tool for playing along to stuff, working out chord changes, adjusting pitch or tempo etc. I've used it for many years. Handy stuff!

PS its also good value :-)
Hey Rosanna - as others have mentioned, there's not really a good quality automatic transcription app or service out there. For now, the best method is to either transcribe it yourself, or hire a professional.
And likewise - notespeller is not a phrase I've come across. Doing a websearch throws up various 'how to read music' guides, is that what you mean? They aren't showing as versions of songs. Do you maybe mean showing the notenames in the noteheads? In which case, MuseScore can certainly do that. If you can clarify, happy to help!

Greetings, yes, showing the note names within the note heads is exactly what I mean! Thank you so much for providing the instructions. Kind regards, Rosanna

Write the music with normal notes.
Then, click Ctrl+A (Select All) and go to the Properties tab (upper left). Under Note / Head, click to Show more. Change the Notehead scheme to "Pitch Names". There are also options for "German pitch names", "Solfège movable do" (American style), or "Solfège fixed do" (European style) if you prefer one of them.
