For any music scanner to be of any use, you do need a program that can handle notation so you can then work with the scanned in music, no point in scanning it in otherwise, unless you just want to listen to it, in which case Capella can do a playback on its own. The notational program must be able to handle XML files, (Just a complicated type of midi file) that Capella puts out. Have a look round the rest of Hitsquad for XML handling notational or Midi software. Those known to me are expensive but are Finale, Sibelius, and Cubase. However it can output in straight midi which can be handled by simple free notational programs such as Anvil Studio. Just follow the link to the Capella home site for more details.
