GoodFeel Braille Music Translator
Are you a blind singer or instrumentalist who needs to have braille scores quickly? Are you an educator or rehabilitation professional serving blind musicians
who has no time to learn to be a braille music transcriber? GOODFEEL can help you. GOODFEEL automatically converts several kinds of music files to braille
- the same files used to print the score for sighted players. To prepare and transcribe these files with GOODFEEL, you do not need to know how to read
braille music; however, you should know how to read print music notation and how to use Windows-based software.
