[Blindmath] TeX Editors

[Alastair Irving]

Hi

I use Emacs with the Auctex package, both of which are free.  It works 
quite well with Jaws.  It is very powerful with lots of features for 
writing and compiling documents.  It can also be used under Linux with 
Emacspeak.  The only disadvantage I can see is that if you're not 
familiar with Emacs then it takes some time to get used to as its very 
different to more standard Windows applications.
