Sibelius Speaking.Version for Sibelius 3 release 18th June 2004 - Please click on the Sibelius Speaking link on the left for details. Overview(Please note that Sibelius 3 is required. The cut down Student version will NOT work.) 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. With Sibelius Speaking, you can learn to use one of the world's premiere notation tools. Enter notes from your PC's keyboard or with any MIDI (piano-style) musical keyboard attached to your PC's soundcard. Listen back to your composition and independently revise it until you're ready to print it up for your sighted teacher, colleague or student to read. In 2002, Dancing Dots released an access solution for Cakewalk's popular SONAR software. Read A Comparison of Sibelius and Cakewalk SONAR to learn how these two great programs differ and what jobs are best accomplished with which product. Here's some text taken from a note Bill McCann, president of Dancing Dots, wrote to the Dancing Dots listserv, not long after Sibelius Speaking's debut presentation: "As many of you have already heard, the late Ray Charles, famous R&B artist, showed us how he has learned to use Sibelius with our Sibelius Speaking scripts for JAWS to print out his own creative ideas. At a special event sponsored by Dancing Dots at the CSUN Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference in Los Angeles in March, 2003. Ray charted out 32 measures of an original jazz waltz scored for four saxes and a rhythm section in front of a capacity crowd which included Stevie Wonder and Dianne Schuur. We printed out the parts, and assembled the band of sighted players who had been waiting outside the room. Ray told them something like: "Now, if I made any mistakes, *play* the mistakes!" He counted it off, the guys played it and it was perfect! It was, without question, an historic moment and, judging from the hugely enthusiastic response from the audience (not to mention the highly positive reaction from yours truly) we all knew we had witnessed a genuine bit of history. in the making!"
