About this app

Got a keyboard at home but never learned to read sheet music? Page2Play
turns any printed score into a playable practice piece. Scan or photograph
the page, touch up the recognition in a built-in notation editor, and play
the song by watching falling bars on a synced piano keyboard — no
note-reading required.

Everything runs on your device. No account, no sign-in, no internet
required for the core flow. Your scans, MIDI, and practice settings never
leave your phone.

— Capture —

• Import a scanned page (PNG, JPG, or pages exported from a PDF). Flat,
evenly lit scans give the cleanest recognition.
• Phone photos also work when scans aren't available; expect more cleanup
in the editor on noisy phone shots.
• Or skip recognition entirely and import existing MIDI or MusicXML.

— A real editor, not just a viewer —

Recognition is rarely perfect, so Page2Play ships with the tools to fix
anything the recognizer missed — right on the phone, no desktop round-trip:

• Tap a note and change its pitch.
• Change the key signature when the recognizer guessed wrong.
• Change the time signature per measure.
• Insert or delete measures anywhere in the score.
• Wrap notes into tuplets (triplets and other 3:2 groupings).
• Multi-page navigation with per-page editing.
• Undo / redo across the whole session.
• Export to MusicXML (round-trip with desktop notation software), MIDI,
or PDF — single page or the entire score.

— Practice without reading —

• Falling bars: notes drop onto a piano keyboard at the speed you choose.
Watch the bars, press the matching keys on your piano. That's it.
• Mute either hand to focus on the other.
• A/B loop any passage until it clicks.
• Slow it down or speed it up while keeping the pitch intact.
• Connect a Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard and play along — Page2Play
listens and shows you what you played.
• Listen back with a built-in upright-piano soundfont.

— Recognition pipeline —

Page2Play uses an on-device optical music recognition pipeline trained on
printed scores. It handles multi-staff piano music, key and time
signatures, rests, ties, accidentals, and clef changes. Recognition takes
roughly a minute or two per page depending on your device and whether GPU
acceleration is enabled (Settings → GPU acceleration).

— Privacy by design —

• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking.
• Optional crash reporting (Sentry) sends only stack traces — no images,
no MIDI, no titles.
• No data is uploaded for model training or any other purpose.

— Who it's for —

• Anyone with a keyboard at home and a song they want to play, who
never got around to learning to read music — or got rusty.
• Self-taught players who learn by watching, not by reading.
• People with a stack of sheet music collecting dust.

— What you need —

• An android phone.
• A piano or keyboard to play along on (any acoustic, digital, or MIDI
controller works — Page2Play tells you what to press, you press it).
• A clean scan (PNG, JPG, or PDF page export) works best for recognition.
• Optional: a Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard if you want the app to
listen and show you what you played.
