[Blindmath] questions about LaTeX and accessibility for blind people

[Michael Whapples]

MathML is sort of accessible on Linux. If you have the XHTML file and 
read Braille then you can use liblouisxml to produce a BRF file. Also it 
used to be accessible with speech in firefox using the firevox plugin 
which makes firefox self voice the page content and did sort of support 
mathml (I say sort of support mathml as it didn't know all symbols, etc, 
but I am sure with a little work it could have been much better). I 
don't know if the firevox plugin is still being maintained.
