Dancing Dots: Providing Technology for Blind Musicians and Their Educators
The Accessible News Wire April 23, 2008, Indianapolis, Indiana USA
The next Accessible World Tek Talk online training event will explore the
musical world with Bill McCann, Founder and President of Dancing Dots, a
United States, based company with customers in more than 40 countries, that
has been providing solutions to challenges faced by blind musicians
worldwide since 1992. He will demonstrate the Goodfeel Braille Music
Translator, any sighted musician with no knowledge of Braille can scan and
edit print notation and convert it to the equivalent braille notation. The
translator also enables Blind musicians to independently create print and
braille scores, , Lime and Lime Aloud, and sophisticated sound recordings
with CakeTalking for SONAR.
The company provides training to any of its technology, as well as
mainstream applications such as Duxbury Braille Translator and JAWS for
Windows, and even courses in reading Braille music. Additionally, it
provides on-site and online training and a Braille transcription service.
As the company represents the leading manufacturers of assistive technology
and music supplies, its consulting service is much in demand.
The virtual audience will have opportunities to ask questions following the
formal presentation.
