Abstract
A music score recogniser for the blind is described. It is being developed at the Institute of Systems Sciences and Biomedical Engineering of the Italian Research National Council (LADSEB-CNR), Padua. The computer software application performs processing and pattern recognition on scanned printed score images; the results are stored both in a MIDI file to be played by a standard acoustic device and in a text only file, in order to permit both sighted and blind users to edit its contents.
