CPianoS
Scan sheet music, learn piano
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: Reads dynamics, pedal marks, and the score's tempo, and plays them back. Choose a grand piano sound, too. Photograph printed piano music to see and hear note names.
Learning piano on your own? Turn your printed sheet music into something you can see, hear, and practice with.
Take a photo of a page and the app reads the score for you. Then show the name of every note, have the notes read aloud, or listen to the music played on a piano. Everything is recognized on your device, so there's no account to create and nothing to upload.
IMPORT YOUR MUSIC
- Scan pages with the camera (automatic perspective correction, multiple pages in a row)
- Pick images from your photo library
- Open PDFs and images from Files
- Printed piano scores (grand staff) are converted into playable music on your device
- Dynamics, hairpins, pedal marks, and the printed tempo (M.M. = 120, Allegro...) are read too
- Re-read earlier scores with the latest model: touch and hold a score in the Library
REVIEW AND FIX THE RESULTS
- Notes the app isn't sure about are shown one by one, next to the original image
- Change pitches and durations, or add and remove notes
- Save your review and pick it up later
- Edit any time after importing: fix notes, rests, chords, measures, key, and time signature, measure by measure
- Tap the original image to see it full screen, zoomed in on the selected note
READ MUSIC FASTER
- Show note names on every note (C D E, Do Re Mi, or Japanese note names)
- Hear note names read aloud ("C sharp", "B flat"...), with a different voice for each hand; chords are read from the lowest note up
- Choose the voices and the speaking speed in Settings
- Use the app in any of 20 languages and switch the app language in Settings
HEAR HOW IT GOES
- Start from the score's own tempo (100%), then slow down or speed up
- Dynamics and pedal are reflected in playback
- Besides the built-in upright piano, download a grand piano or a concert grand piano sound
- Play the right hand or left hand only
- Loop a passage from A to B to work on the hard parts
- Save loops for each score
- Follow the current position right on the score
YOUR LIBRARY
- Keep your scores on a bookshelf with covers
- Search by title and sort
- Jump back to where you left off, right from Home
TRACK YOUR PRACTICE TIME
- Time your practice with a timer that stays visible on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
- Forgot to start the timer? Add practice time manually
- Look back on your practice history with weekly, monthly, and yearly charts by score
FREE TO USE, WITH ADS
- CPianoS is free and shows ads in the Library and on the Import screen
- Opening a locked score takes one ad; after that, it opens without ads as often as you like for 72 hours
- Import up to 3 pages at a time without ads; from the 4th page, watch one ad per page to keep going (internet connection required)
PRIVACY
- No account required
- Your score images, recognition results, and practice history stay on your device and are never sent to the developer
- Recognition and read-aloud run on your device
- Ads are provided by Google AdMob. To show ads, Google may use information such as device identifiers and how you interact with ads. Your advertising identifier is used only if you allow tracking, and every feature works either way
- In the EEA, the UK, and some other regions, you can change your ad consent anytime in Settings → Privacy Settings
GOOD TO KNOW
- Recognition works with printed piano scores (grand staff). Handwritten music and scores for other instruments are not supported.
- Depending on the print quality, lighting, and how busy the score is, some notes may be misread. You can review and fix the results before you practice.
- Please use imported scores for your own personal practice and respect the copyright of sheet music.
- Read-aloud uses the voices installed on your device.
Put your iPhone or iPad on the music stand and start today's practice.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Dynamics and pedal marks
- A new recognition model reads dynamics (p, f, and more), hairpins (crescendo and decrescendo), and pedal marks
- They appear on the score and are reflected in playback (how loud notes are, and notes held with the pedal)
Re-read your scores with the latest model
- In the Library, touch and hold a score and choose Re-read with Latest Model to read it again from the photos you imported
- The new copy is added to your Library as "title (Re-read)". The original stays as it is, including your edits
- Re-reading has no page limit and no video ads
Tempo from the score
- The tempo printed on the score (M.M. = 120, Allegro, and so on) is read when you import. Check or change it on the Song info screen
- Tempo 100% in playback now means the score's own tempo
- Sudden tempo changes later in the piece (a new Allegro or M.M. = mark, Tempo I, and so on) are followed from that measure
Choose your piano sound
- In Settings → Sound, download a grand piano or a concert grand piano in addition to the built-in upright piano
- Each comes in a standard and a high-quality edition (size after installing: grand piano about 480 MB / 970 MB, concert grand piano about 460 MB / 920 MB)
Choose the app language
- Russian, Polish, Thai, Dutch, Swedish, and Hindi have been added, for 20 languages in all
- Pick the language for the app in Settings → App Language. It switches right away
Scores stay unlocked longer
- After watching one ad, a locked score can be opened without ads for 72 hours (previously 24 hours)
- Importing is unchanged: up to 3 pages per import are read without ads. From the 4th page, watch one ad per page to keep going
