Hello John.  How can I get a beta of your program?  Do I just go to your
website?  I am a math major in Long Beach, California.  I use Windows 7 and
Office.  I need a little help in the math with office area.  Thanks.  Elise
P.S.  Welcome, Mr. Hodges

Hello Daniel.  I have two suggestions for you, full disclosure - these both
are offered by my company, ViewPlus.  But one is free and the other is
almost free provided that Sussex already have a ViewPlus embosser - which I
believe they do.  

If you use Windows and Office, please try the beta copy of LEAN Math which
permits you to read and write and manipulate math equations in MS
Word+MathThype.  Blind people get free licenses to LEAN.

Second is a ViewPlus technology for accessing graphics by the audio-touch
method.  ViewPlus is currently making some major usability improvements that
will make it very easy for your university to convert important graphics to
accessible form and for you to read them.  The most expensive part of the
"graphics solution" is the embosser.  The remainder will cost a few hundred
pounds.

I don't think it fair to this list to write a long dwescription of
commercial recommendations, but if you'd like to write me off list, I can
give more info.  By the way I am Professor Emeritus of Physics as well as
being founder of ViewPlus.

Dear all,

 

I have just recently joined the mailing list and would like to introduce
myself in few words.

 

I am Daniel Hajas, a 20 years old blind student. I am studying theoretical
physics at the University of Sussex in England.

 

I lost my vision about 4 years ago. I am very passionate about mathematics
and science in general. Therefore I am looking for all sorts of accessible
ways of doing maths. I don't only want to look for various accessibility
options to make my life easier but also to contribute to the development of
the adaption process.

 

I look forward to joining the discussions on this mailing list and learning
from you.

 

Best wishes,

Daniel
