Vision To Replace Paper Sheet Music
- Enote aims to replace paper by combining a comprehensive sheet-music library with interactive digital features.
- The app offers navigation, transposition, and score-following to make paper unnecessary for many use cases.
High-Accuracy Optical Music Recognition
- Enote's proprietary optical music recognition reaches very high accuracy enabling features other viewers can't.
- That accuracy powers measure counting, repetition jumps, movement recognition, and deeper score interactivity.
Apply AI To Recognition, Not UI Candy
- Use AI only for features that require recognizing notation and linking score elements.
- Leave UI/UX tasks to good app design separate from recognition-driven capabilities.
