<div dir="ltr">I used DD as a braille transcriber for a high school student in Indiana around 2007-9. I am sighted; I was learning braille but knew nothing about braille music. The school district ordered DD for me since my student was an advanced vocal music student.<div>
I was never able to successfully scan the music. It was such a mess that it was faster for me to just enter the music manually (visually) into the program. It was necessary to know music to be able to do that correctly, adding everything including notes with the correct values, dynamics, lyrics & phrasing markings. But then it translated into accurate braille music for my student.</div>
<div>Maybe the program has been improved since then and it might have worked if I had some training. The developers were great helping me over the phone, however!</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br>

<div>Dancing Dots is a company in Pennsylvania. Go to <a href="http://dancingdots.com" target="_blank">dancingdots.com</a> and
read more. They produce the GoodFeel braille music translator (which takes
scores in certain digital formats, and along with the Duxbury Braille
Translator) can produce braille music to be embossed or read on a notetaking
device. They also produce software for creating and editing music on
Windows PC’s running JAWS; fairly complicated but quite powerful. Started
by a blind musician and a sighted programmer; they have developed quite a
following.</div>
