Tab Extractor is a tool created to help visually impaired people to read guitar tabs more easily. Usually guitar tabs are very hard to access using screen readers. Tab extractor makes it easy and fun to read and navigate guitar tabs by laying out the information in a list form, position by position. Main features: • automatically detects guitar tabs on a web page. • lets you save each tab individually or all together. • lets you customise the way the information is formatted. • All it requires is that the tabs are correctly formatted and aligned. For example, instead of having a tab displayed like: e|------0--| B|----3-2--| G|----4-2--| D|---------| A|-2-------| E|---------| the notes will be listed like this: A 2. B 3, G 4. e 0, B 2, G 2. which makes it a lot more easy to read. You get the order of the notes, plus, notes that are supposed to be played at the same time, are listed in the same line. To add a new tab to your collection, do the following: 1. go to the web page that contains the tab you want. 2. copy the address. 3. come back in Tab Extractor and click "add from web", on the bottom left. From there, everything should be automatic. Enjoy.
