This chapter presents an outline of characteristics that qualify a transcription service of musical notation in Braille at universities, which is a demand of blind students who attend music programs in higher education. A study on the technologies involved in the process of transcribing musical works will be reported and its results are discussed in a way that supports the proposition of this service. The service proposed in this chapter not only is devised to produce the material, but also to promote training activities, to develop partnerships with libraries and institutions, and to offer academic support to students with disabilities. It is assumed that the inclusion of people with disabilities in higher education implicates the offer of equal conditions of access and permanence. In addition, it is considered that technology, particularly assistive technology, can facilitate and enhance learning in higher education institutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
