[Blindmath] VoiceOver is not reading words as I type in TexWorks

[Sarah A Easton]

Hi Michael,

Thank you so much for your quick response! I just tried TexShop and it works! I had been told to try TexWorks, which downloaded with TexShop and seems to work similarly except that VoiceOver would not read words as I typed. 

Thanks again!!!

I am trying to remember exactly what TeXWorks is, I know it comes as part of MacTeX, but not sure if it is just a TeX editor or something else.

If it is a TeX editor then TeXShop certainly has been very accessible when I have used it.

Also it is worth noting that MacTeX installs a service which allows you to convert LaTeX equations in edit controls (eg. in Pages or TextEdit) to visual forms of the equation (eg. images or MathML). I did not look too much at that as the conversion is a one way street from what I could tell, you cannot convert back to LaTeX should you want to edit the equation.
