SmartScore is a music OCR and scorewriter program, written by Musitek Corporation based in Ojai, California.
History
SmartScore was originally released in 1991 as MIDISCAN for Windows. The product line was changed to "SmartScore" and re-released for Windows in 1998, and for Mac in 1999 as a scanning/scoring hybrid product. SmartScore incorporates proprietary music recognition technology (OCR) researched and developed as a co-operative effort between Musitek Corporation of Ojai, California (Chris Newell, President) and ICT, Poland S.A. (Wladyslaw Homenda, PhD, Warsaw Technical University, Warsaw, Poland).
