[Blindmath] Problems For reading PDF Files off Mathematics

[Lucas Radaelli]

Does anybody use Infty Reader  regularly?

I tried the trial version and this made me decide that I am not going
to spend almost a thousand dollars! on it.

I was trying  to convert the articles from the I3E website into an
accessible format. the program recognized some of the equations, but I
still needed to send the file for a person to check if everything was
OK. Most of the time, it wasn't and the person needed to rewrite the
equations...

Seriously? I can't see the time when I leave university. Back in time
I wanted to be a researcher  in the computer science area, but now, I
just want to get my degree and work  on something that I have some
progress. there's no research without bibliography finding, book
reading, and that's not just one, two, or even ten articles. If you
want to do a research you should read lots of articles to develop
something new.

Since I don't have  no one but friends to adapt the  articles for me,
researching is not an option anymore....
that's sad.
