As a gift for Christmas, for my older daughter, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to play a piano/keyboard and have a computer translate it in to sheet music?

I've tried to find the answer online, but I'm so confused on the whole process, I don't even know what I'm looking at.

We do have a couple keyboards here, but they both only have the basic audio input/output ports. I have a regular PC, a laptop, and a Mac Mini that she could use.

I just have no idea if there's programs out there that would work or what kind of hardware we'd need to link the synthesizer to a computer.

I tried to understand MIDI, which I'd seen mentioned online but don't understand what that is. And our keyboards we have don't have any MIDI ports.

I would not be against buying one with a MIDI port if she would need that, as this all could possibly be her main gift. Just not sure if that would even work.

Thanks for any help!
