[Blindmath] Latex creation tools

[Paul Chapin]

I'm looking at a tool for a blind user to write latex.  I've been looking at MathType, WinEdit and TeXnicCenter.  As a sighted user I like MathType since it allows me to simply enter the latex necessary for the equation and then drop the result into Word. The problem is that it doesn't look like a good tool for a blind user to locate and correct Latex problems. I can't say I see much difference between the other two.  Both are looking for complete document definitions in Latex and require a couple of extra steps to generate a document, but they both generate nice error lists and would be relatively easy to edit. Am I missing anything?
