Abstract :
The authors describe in detail the user interface specifications and system design of a software module that permits blind musicians to edit musical content in electronic form. First we take account of user requirements for this special-purpose software and, based on that, we provide a set of user interface specifications. Keyboard navigation and speech output are described in some detail. According to the specifications provided, we propose a system design in the context of WEDELMUSIC software.
