A Melody Scanner alternative for voices and solfa
Melody Scanner turns solo instrument recordings into scores. NoteFusion is built for voices first: a hummed tune, a soloist, a choir or a song with a band, written in staff notation and Tonic Solfa.

What Melody Scanner does well
- Transcribes solo piano and flute, with violin and acoustic guitar in beta, from the microphone, YouTube or a file.
- Shows the result as a score, a piano roll or guitar tab, and exports PDF, MIDI and MusicXML.
- Syncs with a desktop version.
What NoteFusion adds
- Tonic Solfa on every sheet, written the hymn-book way: movable doh from the key, la-based minor, chromatics named de, ra, fe, ta, and octave marks.
- Choirs: alto, tenor and bass written under any tune, a recording of a choir read part by part, and Learn my part, with your line loud and the others soft.
- Hymns: over 250 hymns with their words and 500 more hymn tunes in solfa and staff, and a hum to find one.
- A fair free plan: 3 full transcriptions every week, a file read for its first three minutes, no card, no ads in the app; and one song bought on its own when that is all you need.
- On Android and in any browser, with the same account and your sheets kept on the phone for offline.
Which to choose
Choose Melody Scanner for a piano or flute piece you want as a score or guitar tab. Choose NoteFusion for anything sung or hummed, for songs with a band, and for Tonic Solfa, choir parts and hymns.

Links work for many songs, not all: YouTube sometimes blocks our downloads. If yours fails, upload the audio file instead.

Questions
Is NoteFusion free like Melody Scanner?
NoteFusion gives every free account 3 full transcriptions a week, of anything you sing, hum, play or upload, with no card. Songs from a link need Pro, or you can buy one song on its own.
Does Melody Scanner write Tonic Solfa?
Its own listing and website don't mention Tonic Solfa (checked in October 2026). NoteFusion writes every transcription in movable-doh Tonic Solfa beside the staff notation.
Can I open my sheets in MuseScore or Sibelius?
Yes. NoteFusion exports MusicXML and MIDI with Pro, and a PDF on every plan.
