Are you an educator or rehabilitation professional serving blind musicians who has no time to learn to be a braille music transcriber? Are you a blind singer or instrumentalist who needs to have braille scores quickly? Do you want to print your musical ideas out in standard staff notation for sighted people to read? GoodFeel can help you! GoodFeel automatically converts computer files of print scores to the equivalent braille music. These are the same files used to print the score for sighted players to read.
To prepare and transcribe a print score to braille with the GoodFeel suite, sighted users do not need to know how to read braille music. However, you should have a basic understanding of print music notation and how to use a PC.
Transcribe print musical scores to braille music in seconds with GoodFeel. GoodFeel is a suite of software that automates the transcription of print music into braille music. It provides an accessible environment for the blind, low-vision, or sighted user to read, write, and create braille scores independently. GoodFeel’s “talking score” feature provides verbal and musical cues for the auditory learner and non-braille reader as well.
The software allows simultaneous viewing in braille, print, magnified print, or with spoken and musical cues. The various modes scroll in sync making it easy for users to choose a preferred mode while working with others who use a different mode. For example, a braille-reading musician collaborating with a print-reading musician. Re
