[Blindmath] Math and pdf

[Theodor Loots]

Hey!

It is very easy to use, but it isn't free.  There are a couple of licence
options, student, one year etc, and also has a demo option.  Free use is
restricted to 15 days, not necessarily consecutive.  The website pretty much
explains it all.

Cheers,
t

Theodore,

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!!!  Is it free?  Is it easy to use?
Got any more pointers for us?

Respectfully,
