[Blindmath] LaTeX

[Paul Chapin]

There are several Latex to Mathml conversion programs out there and it would be interesting to see what people's experiences with them are, but if Shalini is preparing her material in Latex, wouldn't it be best if she did all her editing and proofing on the Latex side?  She could then convert to a pdf and send that to the instructor. How comfortable are we with depending of the Latex to pdf conversion being correct?

Thank you.
How do you convert LaTeX to MathML?

Well, let's check if the LaTeX - Access projectis further along.  IT
promises to provide JAWS access to LaTeX through any of the standard
windows
applications or even Adobe reader.

There is nothing you can do with a screen reader and Adobe Reader to make
PDF math readable.  You either have to learn LaTeX syntax or convert the
expressions to MathML.

Thanks a lot Jonathan.
I have another question. I have been able to write out Math equations in
LaTeX, but Jaws isn't able to read it very well when I convert it to a PDF
document. Do I need to convert the LaTeX document to MathML and then read
it
with Math player, or do I need to make changes to Jaws settings?

Thanks,
Shalini
