[Perform-Talk] Seeking blind musicians

[Daryl Swinson]

Does the log say anything about accessibility with JAWS? I'm new to
music, learning guitar for the past 2 years.
I had hoped to find something that would read Tab via JaWS, but
nothing so far. I don't know Braille music notation at all. But it
seems like music notation may be the way I have to go. *shrug* Just
seems like a fairly significant hurtle and investment of time and
mental energy.
