<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">Hi, Kimberly. Great questions! Dancing Dots is the software package that contains Goodfeel. Goodfeel is the program that translates the score into braille for you. The suite of software also contains the program called Lime, which is the accessible music editor, and Sharp Eye, which is the Scanning program. This trio makes up the accessible Dancing Dots software.<div><br></div><div>Muse Score is accessible but it is only going to give you a file to be used by print readers. They have done a lot of work on accessibility. I have not checked out the most recent version of the program, but worked with it some last year and found it to be quite accessible.</div><div><br></div><div>The Sao Mai Center for the blind in Vietnam has produced some software that allows folks to emboss braille music, but I have not done anything with it yet.</div><div><br></div><div>Duxbury has to work with a braille music file so you have to be able to create The music file in BRF to run through Duxbury. Hope this clarifies a few things and may answer at least one of your questions. Keep asking, if not, and all the best,</div><div>Chris </div><div><br><div dir="ltr">Chris</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 19, 2023, at 9:39 PM, Kimberly Morrow via Menvi-discuss <menvi-discuss@menvi.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria Math"; }

I have Duxbury and JAWS, and am wondering what Good Feel or dancing Dots do that Duxbury does not in terms of transcribing music from a .brf file. Do people “here” have a preference of Good Feel versus Dancing Dots? What about the cost of each program?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Also, how does Muse Score work?
