<summary>Optical Music Recognition (OMR) Application</summary>
<description>
<p>
An Optical Music Recognition (OMR) application, featuring
an OMR engine coupled with a dedicated editor.
</p>
<p>
It recognizes music from digitized images and converts it into
computer-readable symbolic format. This enables further music processing
by any external notation editor, most notably: digital playback,
transposition and arrangement.
</p>
<p>
Audiveris provides outputs in two main digital formats: its OMR format
and standard MusicXML format. It has a graphical user
interface focused on quick verification and manual
correction of the OMR outputs. Other music editors, such as MuseScore,
Finale, or Lilypond, can be used on Audiveris MusicXML output.
