Featured Project: Lunar Tabs
Lunar Tabs is a guitar tab reader built from the ground up to be designed with accessibility in mind. Lunar Tabs takes as input an electronic guitar tab in a well- structured format and generates a sequence of text instructions for playing the piece that are then fed into a user’s screen reader. A person who is blind could use Lunar Tabs to learn any song they wanted by harnessing the giant tab libraries online.
Lunar Tabs is now available for download for your Android device! To find out more about the included features and learn to use the app, check out the User Manual.
If you don’t have an Android device, download the free Desktop version instead. The source code and APK for the Android device can be found here.
