For the cleanest score
Transcription is automatic, so the recording matters. Three habits make a real difference.
Solo piano works best
Voice, drums or other instruments in the mix make the notes harder to read.
Record close to the instrument
A phone on the music stand is enough. Distance adds room echo.
Keep the room quiet
Background talk and TV sound get picked up as stray notes.

It depends on the recording. Solo piano recorded close to the instrument in a quiet room gives the cleanest scores. Dense pedaled passages, heavy reverb or other instruments in the mix can need small corrections, which you can make in any notation app using the MusicXML file.
