None. Really. They work, at best, with a single voice as input, and they suck at it.

I tried Intelliscore with a very simple track to transcribe (John Tesh, Can you feel the love tonight,
) and uploaded the result for you to check.

I recommend having a good ear and transcribing by hand :(

Yes, the MIDI rendition really sucks.

Yes, the MIDI rendition really sucks.

And it's one of the BEST automated midi thinglets.

After A LOT of filtering (the original FLAC recording) this is what I could get.
CYFTLT-SOLO MELODIA SAXO2.mid (4.7 KB)

It has a LOT of note velocity problems, but at least you can recognize some of the notes, LOL.

If someone has a better example, please enlighten us!
