Point your camera at any pipe tune — or bring in a PDF — and turn it into a playable score in seconds, entirely on your device.
Point your camera straight at a tune in a book — or pick a PDF from your files — and Ultimate Piper reads it into a fully playable score in seconds. It finds the edges, straightens the page, and picks out every note, gracenote and barline automatically. No typing it in bar by bar.
It reads several pages in one go, too, and even stitches a tune that runs across a page turn back into a single score.
Once it's in, it's a first-class tune: play it back with realistic pipes, follow along as you play, edit any note, or share it with your band.
Scanning is free to use — each imported tune counts toward your free 15-tune library, the same as any tune you add. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited tunes.
Our AI recognition model was trained on 150,000 staves of pipe music, so it understands the notation pipers actually use — doublings, throws, grips, taorluaths and all — not just generic sheet music.
And it all happens on your device. There's no upload, no server round-trip and no waiting in a queue — your music never leaves your phone.
Point your camera straight at a tune in a book, import a PDF, or pick a photo from your library. However the music reached you, bring it in.
The AI runs entirely on your device using a bundled model — nothing is uploaded, so it works offline and your music stays yours.
Notes, gracenotes and embellishments, barlines, time signatures and repeats — plus the title, composer and tune type from the heading — across as many pages as the tune takes.
Every scan is saved straight to your library, ready to play. Have a quick side-by-side against the original, fix any note that needs it, or just delete it if it's not what you wanted — even the best reader can miss the odd mark.
Scan on any device — your imported tunes sync everywhere via iCloud.
