Overview of Latest Technology for Blind Musicians from Dancing Dots
 
Participants will witness a detailed demonstration of technology from
Dancing Dots that accomplishes the following tasks.  After a comprehensive
demonstration in the morning session, participants will have an opportunity
to actually use the technology in the afternoon session such as:

Scan printed music scores and convert to audio playback and equivalent
braille music score. 

Import scores in the MusicXML format, review and revise if necessary and
transcribe automatically to equivalent braille. 

Play music into a music editor using an electronic music keyboard. 
Play it back using the PC; convert it to equivalent braille. 

Create new pieces, listen to them, print them on a standard ink printer in
standard staff notation for sighted musicians to read. 

Create multi-track sound recordings by playing on a musical keyboard and/or
recording from a microphone or other audio source.  Apply audio effects such
as reverberation, mix results down to a two-track, stereo audio file in
various popular formats such as mp3, Windows Media, etc. 

Chair: Claudio Sacco, professional music teacher and expert user of
technology from Dancing Dots who is blind.  Mr. Sacco is fluent in German,
