[Blindmath] problems reading PDF scientific documents

[Géssica Michelle dos Santos Pereira]

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your e-mail and encouragement.
As you suggested feeling free to ask questions, here they go:
- I would like to hear more about the diagram tools as I deal with
circuit diagrams in charts all the time;
- I am having problems getting MatLab to work with Jaws. I followed
the instructions from MathWorks and Java Access Bridge sites....but,
no success.
- Power point: how to make presentations without getting lost in the
script? (do I have to memorize the whole article?)
- Can I get a tip on a good tool that can replace HP50G calculator?(Do
I really need to solve all the integrals analitically?)

That's all I can think of, at the moment.
Thanks again for all your support.

Best wishes,
Gessica Michelle
