SmartScore Professional (Finale) Feature comparison.Photoscore Ultimate (Sibelius) Feature comparison.The advantage of the Pro versions is they recognize text, chord symbols and much more and the conversion process is also more accurate. If it is accurate for the music you want to scan, then purchase the full version of the software. I recommend downloading the demo and experimenting with it to see how it does with PDF files. If you do a lot of scanning and importing PDF files into Finale or Sibelius, then consider upgrading the Pro versions. Paid/Pro Versions of Photoscore and SmartScore

You can convert PDF to TIFF files using any one of many free options including websites and free PDF readers such as Preview for Mac and Adobe Acrobat Pro. That’s a bit of a pain, but if you don’t have the money to purchase the full version of SmartScore, then this can get the job done. TIP: With Finale, there is an option using the free scanning software that comes with the program: convert the PDF file pages to a graphic TIFF image and then read them into Finale. The free version that ships with Finale, SmartScore Lite, does not. As of now (April, 2014) the free version of Scanning that comes with Sibelius, Photoscore Lite, does allow for scanning PDF files. The first step is to choose the software for scanning PDF files.
In this post, I focus on scanning in PDF files. If you have sheet music that you want to scan in, using a scanner and converting them to TIFF files is the still the best option. The concepts and information in that post are still relevant. Back in 2008, one of my first posts in this blog, I did a post on scanning and music notation software.
