[lug] Software playing music out of a picture of a score

[mad.scientist.at.large at tutanota.com]

If you were a blind musician, It might be extremely useful.  Especially in regard to music that's new to you of  a style you hadn't heard before.

It's doubtless similar to OCR software.  It's fairly basic image analysis.
