Gilt als eine der besten je veröffentlichten OMR-Programmen weltweit.

Engine heißt Liszt. → Herzstück des Programms.

Bernhard Hill in MusicXML-Mailinglist: "The current version is v2, and it was a big improvement over v1. So make sure you are using SharpEye 2 (or equivalantly, Music Publisher 6 or later). I don't remember what formats SharpEye can produce but the NIFF/MXML output is part of the SharpEye package rather than the OCR part. The OCR engine is called Liszt and Music Publisher has a licence from Visiv Ltd to include it (at a price!). Liszt produces its own ascii code to describe what objects are found where, and I needed to write a large chunk of code to embed it into MP, which now does all the scanning- in or importing of PDF/BMP/etc files and then performs the recognition seamlessly. If you are really interested then there is an SDK on the SharpEye website.

Versions of LIszt/Sharpeye up to 2.66 were written by a great guy called Graham Jones who lived in Durness on the North coast of Scotland. He sold it all to Visiv in 2006 and they included tighter anti-copying routines and released version 2.68 (there was no 2.67), but there have been no improvements. Visiv is part of Neuratron and I think they released it as part of Photoscore - but I judge only on the advertising material."
