Dear AccessWorld Editor,
I would like to say how timely this article (The Current State of ChromeVox Next (Beta), a Screen Reader for Chrome OS) by Aaron Preece was for me. I am using Chromevox and Google just updated me to Chromevox Next.
Fortunately there were some release notes available but nothing as helpful and comprehensive as Aaron's article. Thanks so much, AccessWorld.

Re: Making Music with iOS and Android Apps
Hi,
I am an oboe player with RP who plays in a community band. I was to the point of having to give up playing because my acuity was such that I couldn't read sheet music well enough anymore. Enter MusicZoom (musiczoomapp.com)! This is an iOS app that costs $20. The app allows you to scan or take a photo of sheet music and enter the piece into the music library. You can customize the display to your visual needs. You advance the music using a Bluetooth foot pedal. I have close to 200 songs in my library and it is absolutely amazing and easy to use. It gave music back to me. I understand this is not for folks with total blindness, but is a mighty boon to low vision musicians.
Cheers,
Ros Zeltins
Dear AccessWorld Editor,
What a great article on making music on IOS devices (Making Music with iOS and Android Apps). Thank you AFB, Janet, and Jamie for sharing the musical love. All we need now is a podcast where these great authors demonstrate the musical apps they love so well.
Again, thanks to all who made this article possible.
