Sound Without Sight is a new non-profit initiative, aimed at supporting sight-impaired people in the fields of audio and music. They will: showcase blind and partially sighted talent, highlight how accessibility barriers can be overcome, combine collective knowledge, and challenge stereotypes.
They have started started a monthly series of meet ups with next one being on Thursday 17th October 2024, 7pm UK time. that will feature a live demonstration of MuseScore Studio with a screen reader by headline guest James Bowden!
James is Braille Technical Officer at RNIB, and his feedback has been key in shaping the development of accessibility features within MuseScore in recent years.
The demonstration will last around 60 minutes, with a further 30 minutes for questions. This will be a relaxed, informal discussion and audience participation is encouraged.
