Audio Tools for turning voice input into sheet music

I'm thinking Logic is the best software out there for musicians who want to record actual notes and turn them into sheet music, though it's accuracy isn't always great.  Here's an idealized usage of it:

For this one, he does an indepth tutorial of what I was trying to do, check it at 5:30:



Sibelius is a good example at looking at how to deal with rhythm input without any backing track.. flexitime tries to guess your tempo.. or if you try to play with sibelius's metronome, you have to preset what kind of notes you want it to put in so that it's more accurate...  (note: it's using MIDI so you don't need to worry about pitch detection) start watching at about 1 minute, but he actually inputs notes at 3:25 or so (to a click):

So how to input audio information to sibelius with pitch you ask?  Audio Score Ultimate 7 is the plug in you need to buy: http://www.sibelius.com/products/audioscore/ultimate.html

Sibelius's competitor, Finale, only allows mic input from woodwind or brass instruments (which is definitely easier to figure out than voice)
