[Blindmath] advanced math and chemical equations

[John Gardner]

She needs InftyReader to do OCR on those PDF's.  It's not cheap at $900, 
but it works very well.  If a sighted person could edit the files to 
remove OCR errors, the output should be easily readable.  For reading 
she has two choices.  One can output as XHTML/MathML and read it audio 
with Internet Explorer and MathPlayer.  Alternatively she could buy 
ChattyInfty and have an audio editor and reader.  Infty Reader and 
ChattyInfty are made by the japanese Infty group.

MathPlayer is a plug-in made by Design Science www.dessci.com
