[Blindmath] JAWS with Mathematica

[Pielaet, Jon]

Laura,

I highly recommend reading through the Blindmath list gems. There is a Mathematica section in there.

http://www.blindscience.org/blindmath-gems-tools#mathematica

My experience with mathematica has been fairly limited, but I have had the best luck using the kernel (command line mode).

I formatted my data sets in CSV or text files and then ran them through. It worked well for most things.

There are different ways to format the output. Fortran, LaTeX, etc... You can change that pretty easily and get whatever output you need.

I'm sure someone on the list knows the software much better than I do, but hopefully this is a good start.

Best of luck,

Jon

Hi All,

We are working with a student who is blind and is enrolled in a
Calculus 3 class.  Part of this class requires students to use the
program Mathematica to input and manipulate equations.

I found Mathematica's Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility
Template (VPAT) at:
http://www.wolfram.com/legal/accessibility/wolfram-mathematica.html

It has the following links:

Accessibility
http://reference.wolfram.com/language/guide/Accessibility.html

Keyboard Shortcut Listing
http://reference.wolfram.com/language/tutorial/KeyboardShortcutListing.html

Does anyone have  experience with the JAWS/Mathematica combination to
share? Are there any incompatibility issues? Any tips or tricks?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Laura
