Page2Play: Piano Practice Scan

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, with 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, with 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 and redo across the whole session.
• Export to MusicXML (round-trip with desktop notation software), MIDI, or PDF, either a 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.
• No MIDI cable? Play along on any acoustic or digital piano and Page2Play listens through the microphone. A Bluetooth or USB MIDI keyboard also connects, for the tightest timing.
• Listen back with a built-in upright-piano sound.
• Score mode: play a song on your MIDI keyboard or through the microphone for a graded run, with accuracy, combo, and a full-combo goal, plus your best score saved per song.
• Practice stats: daily practice time, a running streak, and per-song totals for plays, time, and best score.

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, then GPU acceleration).

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• No analytics, no advertising, no tracking.
• Optional crash reporting (Sentry) sends only stack traces, with no images, no MIDI, and 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
• A mobile 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 for the most responsive play-along. The microphone works fine without one.
