"Sibelius Speaking delivers the power and flexibility of the excellent notation program, Sibelius, to the blind user. Sibelius Speaking combines a set of sophisticated scripts for the JAWS for Windows screen reader with tutorial documents and superb online help. That means that blind composers or arrangers can now independently transfer their creative musical ideas directly from their mind's ear to the printed page! Sibelius Speaking frees the blind composer to create music for all kinds of traditional or not-so-traditional ensembles, from string quartets, to jazz bands, symphony orchestras or (why not?) dueling tubas! You can print your music for any sighted person to read in the medium they recognize: conventional, staff notation."
