I have used Finale's Smart Score Lite and found it better than I expected. I was scanning in harpsichord music and, in many cases had very few errors. Usually the measures that were wrong were VERY wrong and had to be redone completely with Speedy, but overall this was faster than doing it all in Speedy. Some features are poor (triplets as I recall, and less common time signatures, and repeats bars almost always were attached to the wrong measure). The full Smart Score may be better.
