Their latest product is called SmartScore. I don't know if it uses the sam=
e
"engine" as MidiScan, but it works better than the latest MidiScan demo I
had tested. In France, both these products are very expensive, though
(around $350 and $500 respectively).

People interested in a really CHEAP sheet music scanning program may try
OMeR at www.myriad-online.com. It costs only... 90FF ($15)!!! It is not as
bad as the first MidiScan, but much worse than the latest... but they are
still improving it, and the upgrades are free for registered customers.
