[Perform-Talk] Familiar with Citations for Music Sources

[Davood Jafari]

Hello Elizabet,
I am Davood Jafari a blind composer.
At the moment, I am completing my PhD in composition at Trinity Laban
conservatoire of music and dance London UK.
I have had challenges to convert the theory books, scores, and many more
things as a composer.
At the present time, you can have a lot of solutions to solve the issue.
If you need to convert any text from PDF you may use insta reader on your
phone or google OCr.
Insta reader can convert anything into text such as any photos or other
types of file.
There is another software called kurzweil which is very efficient in
scanning and converting the pDf files as well. The software can also use a
physical scanner and scan everything. it can also provide you with a
Braille grade 2 as well.
If you need some notes the software muze score is so efficient.
Its website provides a huge number of scores in MSCZ or music xml format.
Just google the score you need and add the MSCZ after the file name.

format
The software is free of charge.
you may use the following website to make a Braille version of any music
XML file.
https://www.braillemuse.net/braille_music_score/en2/index.html
you may read them on a Braille display or print the files by a Braille
printer.
let me know if you need any specific types of things so I can provide more
suggestions.
All the best
Davood Jafari
