• REAPER is a complete digital audio production application for computers, offering a full multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing and mastering toolset. The software is available for a free, fully functional 60-day evaluation period. A license is also available for purchase at a discounted price for personal or educational use.
• The REAPER Accessibility Wiki offers an extensive guide for visually impaired users to get the most out of the software with helpful extensions such as OSARA ,SWS, and NDVA. We encourage users to review the Accessibility wiki to better understand the depth of accessibility in REAPER.
• Chord Charts are a common tool for jazz students and performers alike. iREAL Pro (available for IOS and Android) tool for musicians to create, collect, and use their own chord charts for learning and performing music. It can also integrate with the IOS screen reader Voiceover to read chord charts and other musical elements to assist musicians who rely on screen readers.
• Bone Conduction is the process by which sound is conducted to the inner ear through bones of the skull, bypassing the ear canal and middle ear. This process is often explored as a treatment option for certain types of hearing diagnosis. Music Vibes is an IOS application that relies on haptic vibration technology in mobile devices to create a bone conduction effect to translate audio played off of a small app-based keyboard. The keyboard itself has a small pitch range (slightly over an octave) and the nature of the device makes it difficult for traditional performance. However, the haptic bone conduction nature of this application may be useful for certain introductory courses in music.
• Chrome Music Lab by Google Chrome offers a number of visually-based hands -on experiments to teach the fundamentals of music. Though designed as for introductory music and focusing on the connections with STEM subjects, the experiments may be a great way for introductory or general education courses due to their versatility.
• Chrome Music Spectrogram A visual tool to show the spectrogram of sound, with interactivity via built in microphone or tracing the contour via cursor. The visual representation may be useful for the hard of hearing, and the interface may prove useful for students with mobility diagnosis that may restrict instrument playing.
• Chrome Music Sound Waves: A tool using a keyboard device that relates pitch to vibrating dots in a grid pattern. As pitch increases, the dotes oscillates faster to illustrate the relationship between pitch and the movement of sound waves. This could prove useful for students with hearing diagnosis to help develop a framework for sound and pitch in music.
• Gesture-based Music via Adaptive use Musical Instrument or AUMI is an ongoing project by the Deep Listening Institute which has developed an interface that enables users to play sounds and musical phrases through movement and gestures, with the original focus on working with children who have profound physical disabilities. Using an IOS device and a camera, performers can interact with a gesture-based screen to play chosen sounds and phrases. Given the initial intent of the application, it may prove very useful for students with motor function diagnosis that may prevent the playing of a traditional instrument.
• Zones called “sound boxes” can be established in the interactive screen, which are then assigned notes or other sounds that are played when the camera senses motion over that sound box.

• Enables professors and students to easily create digital STEM content in Microsoft Word and Learning Management Systems, bringing the benefits of technology to STEM courses.

• Mathpix: Document conversion done right
• Mathpix provides a productivity tool for desktop, mobile, and web powered by OCR technology specialized for STEM. It can digitize screenshots or drawings of text, math, chemical diagrams, tables, and full research paper PDFs into formats for typesetting, for example: LaTeX, MathML, Markdown, MS Word, and canonical SMILES. It also provides an all-in-one solution for creating, editing, and sharing Mathpix Markdown documents on the web. Mathpix also provides easy-to-integrate vision and document integration A

• Visual Math Editor :: EquaThEque
• VisualMathEditor is a LaTeX, AscciMath and MathML editor developed in Javascript and HTML. It operates independently on the web or locally. It has many features and menus that help the equation-entry and allow their posting and backup.

• MolView
• Chrome app MolView(link is external) with the objective for users to visualize various molecular and ionic structures. MolView(link is external) is comprised of two main parts, a structural formula editor and a 3D model viewer. The user can draw a compound or choose from a selection of compounds from three databases. Once a compound has been selected the user can click the 2D to 3D button to convert the molecule into a 3D model which is then displayed in the viewer, located on the right side of the screen.
