Thank you, George. I look forward to trying it out. I will let you know how I fare with it, probably will take a few weeks, though, as the Season is making free time sparse. Keith

Hi,

I've heard there is a guitar tablature program that was designed to be
accessible by JAWS. It even may have been mentioned on this list.

Does anyone know about this? Where to get it? How well it works. Does
one need special guitar tab formatting, or can any tab in PDF format be used?

Thanks in advance, Keith



Hi Keith,

I'm the developer of the guitar tab reader script for JAWS. You can download it for free at http://backtoplayingblind.blogspot.com. There you'll find instructions on how to install the files and run the script.

This is still a work in progress. I wrote it to allow me to return to playing guitar after losing my vision in 2012. I've found it works pretty well as long as the tab follows standard tablature conventions.
Let me know your experience and how I might make it better.
