[Blindmath] LaTeX compilers for Windows

[John Gardner]

Sarah, Neil has given you one solution that makes it possible for blind
people who know Latex to read MathType equations in MS Word.  LEANMath is
another.  It allows you to insert alt text into MathType equations in either
a word description format or as Nemeth Braille.  These are read by any
screen reader. The LEAN Editor also permits the user to open that equation
and browse it in audio, edit it, etc.  A new, hopefully final beta version,
will be posted tomorrow with luck.  Do you want a copy?

Please note that both the Latex toggle and LEAN Math require MathType, not
the Office Equation Editor.  If you have a document with Windows math
equations, MathType can convert them to MathType.

Googling it yesterday, I did find that MS Word has a feature called equation

editor. Does anyone know if that feature is accessible? (It appears that it 
is actually inserting an image into the document, so may be a bit tricky to 
get lined up exactly where you want it, if it is accessible at all.)

Thanks,
Sarah
