This includes recordings from our Monthly Meet-up Sessions, which each bring together an established VI music or sound professional with community members who are just starting out, and everybody in between. Catch up on all the knowledge, solutions, and tips for success here.

In this episode, James Bowden demonstrates all the basics of braille music translation using the Sao Mai Braille app (SMB). James shows how you can use SMB to convert MusicXML format scores into BRF files, ready for embossing or reading on a braille display.
You can access the accompanying handout and notes at Sound Without Sight.
James navigates SMB using his computer keyboard and a screen reader, but sighted users can of course also navigate SMB using a mouse and without using a screen reader.
This session was recorded live, as part of the Sound Without Sight Monthly Meet-up Session for November 2024, featuring questions submitted by our community.
