The Halbestunde Optical Music Recognition
What is it?
The Halbestunde OMR converts sheet music into XML and Midi files that can be used by other applications and software. It uses Machine Learning to digitize the notes from PDFs and users photos, and is trained to account for angulations, lighting and cropping. It is ideal for companies who need a ready-made solution and do not have the time and capacity to develop their own from scratch.
Access to our technology is provided through API, so you can use it on any mobile or web applications.
Currently, the Halbestunde OMR accommodates numerous instruments, from piano to voice and orchestral instruments, and can efficiently process sheet music with multiple staves and voices.

- Its AI-based technology is able to recognize multiple voices on a single staff and complex multiple instrument cases.
- It is far superior to other solutions out there, particularly when it comes to digitizing user’s photos. Our team of Machine Learning experts enriches our own dataset with a multitude of scenarios where the sheet music might not be a straight forward, clear PDF, and ensures that the OMR learns with each user scan.
- The average processing time for sheet music with up to 4 pages is less than 30 seconds, whereas sheet music with 10 or more pages can take up to 2 minutes.
We continuously enhance its functionality by focusing on complex multiple instrument cases and adding new music symbols to our dataset.
