Where Music Meets Technology for the blind

Dancing Dots serves blind musicians and their educators through technology and training

Sibelius

Sibelius is a high-end, music notation program used all over the world in homes, schools, and publishing companies. The hybrid installation CD lets you install to PC or Macintosh. You can now use the same software that many publishers use to prepare the sheet music sold at retail music outlets. Most excitingly, for the first time ever, blind users will now be able to use Sibelius to notate their own musical ideas! Dancing Dots has released Sibelius Speaking, a product that customizes the JAWS for Windows screen reader to interact seamlessly with Sibelius.

"Sibelius is an exceptionally flexible tool for all kinds of musical notation" John Adams composer of The Guardian "I could eulogise for hours about just how fulfilling Sibelius is to use."

Electronic Musician 2000 Editor's Choice Computer Music Ultimate Buy Keyboard Key Buy award Mac Format Classic award.

Testimonials

Recently, I took a composition class with a rather renown composer. At the beginning of the class, I could only enter notes in my portable note taker and then describe my ideas to the teacher. However, about half way through the two-weeks' class, I received and began using the Sibelius Speaking scripts. After only a couple of days, I was able to give to him a full score and parts to a brass quintet I had previously written in braille. At the end of the class, my piece was performed by a quintet from Indiana University. Nothing matches the feeling of having your work performed by fellow musicians. Thanks Dancing Dots! Chris Stewart
In the past applied music technology was inaccessible to visually impaired students and it was a core module which students had to take. Sibelius Speaking will able students to complete the module, and allow visually impaired students use Sibelius whenever they wish and print out the results for teachers and fellow students. I hope to be very impressed with the results. James Hitchins
