accessible guitar tab reader

Hello Apple Vis,
Does anyone have any suggestion for an accessible guitar tab reader? I remember the Lunar tabs thing, but I can't seem to find it online, and the one I did have was glitchy and froze once I'd open my tabs.
Thanks in advance.
Chuck

Accessible Guitar Tab Reader

By George Calvert

9 months 3 weeks ago

When I lost my vision 10 years ago I realized guitar tablature notation was completely inaccessible. I have since created software to translate tabs into plain language playing instructions. I have made this software available for free at https://www.guitartabreader.com. All you need to do is copy and paste a web page or other document containing tablature into the site and choose Translate. A plain text version of the tab converted into playing instructions is displayed and can be copied with one click to the clipboard.

This site is non-commercial – no cost, no ads, no tracking. It’s my effort to pay it forward to other guitar players who are blind or low vision. As you come across vision-impaired guitarists I hope you’ll pass along this site.
