Abstract

This chapter presents an outline of characteristics that qualify a transcription service of musical notation in Braille at universities, which is a demand of blind students who attend music programs in higher education. A study on the technologies involved in the process of transcribing musical works will be reported and its results are discussed in a way that supports the proposition of this service. The service proposed in this chapter not only is devised to produce the material, but also to promote training activities, to develop partnerships with libraries and institutions, and to offer academic support to students with disabilities. It is assumed that the inclusion of people with disabilities in higher education implicates the offer of equal conditions of access and permanence. In addition, it is considered that technology, particularly assistive technology, can facilitate and enhance learning in higher education institutions.
