I appreciate this article. I'm a long time performing songwriter. Only wish I had an Android for the tab accessibility.
I'm also a Web copywriter starting a Web project dedicated to the acoustic songwriter. I'll be sure to include these resources as part of the project for blind acoustic guitar players.
I may dedicate a section solely for blind players and songwriters, though not sure that is architecturally necessary at this point.

I found an accessible tuning app in the Apple App Store called Tuner Plus. The app is very accessible for tuning most stringed instruments. Buttons are clearly labeled and it works with VoiceOver running. This app will emit the pitch through the speaker of the iDevice. You can change the audio playback from a struck/plucked tone to sine wave. There is a one-time $0.99 charge to remove ads.
I’m not sure if there is an app in the Google Play store of the same name for Android.

Thanks for a very short and concise review of this Sangean totally accessible radio. It’s quite nice to DX at night on this radio, to see how far out you can get.

Thank you for this extremely comprehensive article; it came at just the right time since I have several clients who are taking music courses and/or exploring careers in the music industry. It should be noted that the FMDG Music School is no longer affiliated with the Lighthouse Guild; they are now an independent entity. I mention that only because it occurred to me that you may want to edit the article so that the connection with Lighthouse isn’t mentioned; that way it will be more accurate.

I just love Access World and faithfully read every issue. I work as a case manager at a rehab agency for the blind and often use the material to promote discussions with our clients.
In saying that, I am wondering why no one has chosen to write about the Amazon smart oven which can also be controlled by Alexa. I think that it is a wonderful product as it combines a number of cooking devices in one “box”.
Thank you for reading.
