Tek Talk Archives description:
In 1992, Bill McCann founded Dancing Dots to help blind and low vision
musicians to independently read music, write their music down, and to record
their music. His company created the world's first commercial braille music
translator software, GOODFEELR and has pioneered in the area of creating
what he calls "accessible scores". Their latest product enables low vision
musicians to read and to write magnified music in an accessible environment.
Dancing Dots also markets an access solution for creating
professional-sounding, multi-track audio productions.
Today, Dancing Dots has customers throughout the United States and in over
50 other countries. Mr. McCann has presented at numerous international
conferences and has taught at a variety of music camps in the U.S. and
Canada. In 2014, he was named as Music Director for the inaugural Enchanted
Hills Summer Music Institute in northern California.
He has been interviewed by the BBC, Associated Press and the Philadelphia
Inquirer and published numerous articles about his work. He recently
presented at a special research conference called Visually Impaired
musicians Lives at the University of London. For the bicentenary of the
birth of Louis Braille in 2009, Mr. McCann was invited to speak about
braille music at UNESCO at a special international conference in Paris
dedicated to Braille's memory.
Please welcome, Bill McCann.
