PhotoScore Ultimate is the new name for PhotoScore Professional and reflects its wealth of powerful new features. Version 5 offers the following major improvements over 4:

• Handwritten score recognition!

You read correctly! Neuratron has been very busy and has made a massive technological breakthrough with the world's first and only music scanning software designed to read handwritten, as well as printed, scores. Currently optimized to read freshly written music (rather than old archives) PhotoScore Ultimate 5 gives musicians the freedom to compose music away from their computer, perhaps next to their favorite instrument, or relaxing in a field a long way from civilization!

• Dual-engine printed music recognition- sends accuracy through the roof!

By combining the two most accurate printed music scanning engines in the world (each independently developed), PhotoScore Ultimate achieves recognition accuracy far greater than the sum of the engines; it really has to be seen to be believed!

• Edit while PhotoScore reads

PhotoScore now reads in the background, leaving you free to edit or rearrange each page as it is recognized

• Advanced scanned image management system

Worry less about managing scanned pages with the new Pages Pane- it completely replaces the Scanned Pages dialog

• Repeat ending, Coda and Segno recognition
• Cross-staff note and beam recognition
• Recognition of ornaments such as trills, mordants and turns, in addition to pedal on and off markings
• Now a Universal Binary application, so it runs at full speed on all Macs
• Improved recognition of text, now in up to 120 different languages
