Piano Transcription Software
There are a lot of software applications and hardware devices out there that claim to help you to transcribe music. But if you’re serious about transcribing a piece of music by ear then you’re going to have to listen to the whole recording as many times as necessary until you know exactly what is being played, then work out which notes to input into your score, using your own keyboard or a MIDI keyboard and ideally a DAW (digital audio workstation) that has efficient playback controls for moving through the source material quickly and efficiently.
Piano transcription software is a huge time saver that helps you focus on the actual process of transcribing music, not listening to it over and over again while trying to work out which peaks in the audio waveform represent actual notes. It is a tool that helps you to develop your musical skills and can make you much faster at transcribing music by ear.
The best piano transcription software is designed to be as user friendly as possible so that you can spend your time focusing on the actual transcribing process. Some piano transcription software will display live note recognition results as they are happening, others take a little longer to perform frequency analysis and then generate the final sheet music. Some of the better software is even able to separate instruments from each other and provide the results as a midi file, a PDF engraved sheet and MusicXML digital note sheet.

A Comparison of Piano Transcription Software
ScoreCloud has an excellent reputation and a good range of features that allow you to create accurate musical scores. It can handle a wide variety of musical notation including lyrics, chords and harmonies, multiple keys, clefs and time signatures and can also produce a high quality printed score on your own printer. Its only downside is that the process of converting from a standard audio file to a score can be a little time consuming.

Finale PrintMusic is a familiar name in the world of music creation and comes with hundreds of integrated instruments for playback and provides an easy to use workflow with the ability to import and export a wide range of common file formats for printing or sharing with others. It is also one of the most comprehensive of the piano transcription software, picking up all Group 1 and 2 notes, rests, accidentals, tuplets and articulations. It can also identify dynamics, lines, slurs, ornaments, tempo marks and clefs.
Piano2Notes is a newer transcription software with a unique approach. It uses advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to perform the note recognition and then it is presented in a graphical format that allows you to clearly see which notes are being played, how fast they are being played and which slurs are tied together. It can be a little slow to analyse the original audio file and produce the final sheet music but it is very accurate.
Transcribe! is a useful assistant for people who want to develop the true art of transcribing from a recording in order to learn how to play it themselves or write it. It is a specialised player program with a number of transcription-specific features not found in conventional music players.
