Prof. Osswald, I read with great interest the story in the Sunday Wisconsin State Journal about the raised music staff and that you and your students are going to look into ways to mass produce it. I must inform you that the technology already exists. With open source software from AbilitiesSoft and the Tiger Braille embossser from View Plus Technologies, we've been producing raised music staff for years. Prof. Welbourne, Please pass this information on to Miss Kim. For more information, I suggest you contact the director of AbilitiesSoft, Mr. John J. Boyer, via email. His address is john.boyer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. John is deaf/blind so email is the best way to reach him. -- Marcia Carlson, Chair of the Board of Directors AbilitiesSoft, Inc. a 501(3)c organization.
