Try it

Your line, picked out on the page you were given

ScanSing keeps your printed page on screen and marks the staff you sing. Pick a voice to see it move.

Features

Made for the week between rehearsals

Your part, front and centre

Hear your line over the other voices, or on its own. The score follows along and keeps your staff marked.

With music · Solo

Practice loops

Pick a phrase or a range of bars, set how many times to repeat, and add a breath or a count-in between passes.

Repeats 3 · 5 · ∞ · Breath 2–6 s · Count-in 1–2 bars

Tempo and key

Start slow and work up. Move the whole piece up or down in semitones to fit a lower alto or a tired tenor.

Tempo at 100 percent and Transpose at 0 semitones in the player settings

A library for the whole season

Every piece keeps your part, your tempo and where you stopped. Continue from the home screen next time.

Your music stays on your phone

Recognition runs on the device. ScanSing has no account, no analytics and no server that sees your scores. That is also why it works offline in the rehearsal hall basement.

Questions

Before you try it

What kind of music can it read?

Printed choral scores such as SATB, SSA or TTBB, from a photo or a PDF. Handwritten scores are not supported. MusicXML files from MuseScore or Sibelius open directly.

How accurate is the scan?

Clean printed pages come through best. Photos taken at an angle or in poor light do worse, and old or faint prints can have mistakes. Check the tricky bars against your printed copy.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Scans are recognised on your phone and stay there. ScanSing's App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected".

Does it work offline?

Yes. Scanning, playing and looping all work without a connection.

Is there an Android version?

Android comes after the iPhone release. Join the beta and we will write when it is ready.
