I suspect we are seeing a similar thing with notation software in general. But today it is considerably better and people use it heavily. A few years ago, the results were so poor that I wouldn’t bother to use it most of the time. That would be a very limited market, wouldn’t it? Imagine a database system that returned the wrong results even 1% of the time. There is a limited market for a product that is extremely tedious to use and certain to only be 98% accurate or something like that. I would suggest the situation is actually quite different. A bigger company is tempted to look at this and conclude, “See. There have been numerous products in this category and not much revenue. I think this is a mistake that is often made in marketing. I think MarcLarcher hit the nail on the head about this being a relatively small niche market verses a pretty complex problem to tackle. Maybe Steinberg will buy Neuratron and offer it as a companion product to Dorico.
PHOTOSCORE ULTIMATE MOJAVE UPGRADE
I’m not excited about the upgrade as described in the OP, but might consider upgrading anyway to encourage the company to keep moving forward - as many of us invested in Dorico while it was fledgling. Yet it seems to be the best game in town of the software I tested when deciding which one to use a few years ago. The interface, like their website is less than elegant - sort of a late 1990’s gui, upgrades are so long in coming I sometimes wonder if anyone is at home at Neuratron. It’s enough of a time saver to make it worth purchasing. I usually select all text and lyrics, delete then re-enter by hand in Dorico. I find the music to be very accurate, but not so much the text.
I frequently use Photoscore Ultimate to interpret scanned or downloaded pdfs of hymns and lead sheets.
