Hello:
I suggest you contact Dancing Dots at www.dancingdots.com.
They have software for reading sheet music and creating an editable file. A sighted person can fix errors and you can have a MIDI file or braille music.

Robert

We have had luck with the following when it comes to power point documents:
Go to the original power point and enable saving
now do a save as and select the option of outline in RTF instead of power point
now save the document and it will be an RTF file
This is not perfect but reads better than a power point with a screen reader.
Hope this is what you are looking for.
