Yes, I keep in contact with Bill as well, we're trumpeters, saw him on Skype a while back, he tried to call me, but I told him I was with another trumpeter, doing a conference call, and yes he is very nice. Of all the friends I've had growing up, the trumpet has been a motivating, yet challenging friend. I can express myself through the trumpet to anyone who loves music, because this instrument has a range of moods. These great personalities shape the classic trumpet: "brash, impetuous, cocky, and cool, and in-command." "You have to remember the trumpet is a mean instrument. Sometimes I feel like throwing it out the window, it's such a beast. There are times when it treats you so sweet and nice that everything comes out just perfect. Then you come back to it the next night, rub your hands together and say to yourself you're going to do it all over again. You pick up the horn put it to your chops and the son of a bitch says: SCREW YOU!!!!!"

Hello, Visit www.dancingdots.comSibeliius is supported by Dancing Dots with a product called Sibelius speaking.I currently have the bundle of Cakewalk, which works with midi files. It's best to have an external keyboard with this program for input, but I don't compose much, so it doesn't matter to me.the second program comes in a bundle put out by dancing dots. It is Sharpeye and is used for scanning music in conjunction with your scanning program. This is not OpenBook or Kurzweill, but the program that generates the scanner. then there's a program called Lime that converts the scanned image to file from SharpEye so that you can edit out any OCR problems that might have happened during the scanning process. and then you put in fingerings, and other things you can't do in SharpEye. then there's GoodFeel to complete the package. this creates Braille ouput from the lime file. Dancing Dots has been talking about using another music scanning program called PhotoScore instead of Sharpeye but I don't know if that's going to be implemented in the near future. When in Lime, Jaws users have scripts they can use to help navigate through the music files audibly. Cool, but WindowEyes should also be represented, and this has been my biggest beef with the whole set programs and they know my complaint.Bill McCann is the president of Dancing Dots, and he's he's one of the mnicest people you could ever talk to. The company is in Valley Forge, PA, and the support is very good. Look at the web site:ww .dancing.dots for a whole lot more information.I don't know about current pricing since I've been from this company for many years now. Hope this helps. If anyone have any more questions, it's probably better to email privately, I don't mind.dhh@xxxxxxxxxx Debra Hernstrom Debra Hernstrom At 12:50 AM 11/24/2009, you wrote:My husband and mother-in-law absolutely love Sibelius. However, I don't think anyone offers any commercial software equivalent with the accessibility features that you can get for Cakewalk through the CakeTalking interface that's available from dancingdots.comThere's a Jaws interface for Sibelius, but it's for one version back (Sibelius is on 6, this is for 5) at http://www.musicaccess.co.uk - I don't know how good or bad it is, though.homepage for Sibelius is: http://www.sibelius.com/products/sibelius/ Judy s.To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line.
