[Blindmath] Question about orca reading latex

[Bill K. Dengler]

What about Chrome Vox with math semantics?
Chrome is available in the repos for Debian based distros, and Chrome Vox is available in the Chrome Web Store.

Dear Paula,

Apologies for the relatively slow response but just had the chance to read through the list.
Do you absolutely need to stick to ORCA? There is a way to do for what you were asking about but only on Windows.
If interested let me know in a private message.

Bests,
Dan

Hello, I'm new to the list so I apologize if this topic has already been discussed, in that case just point me to the right thread.

We're interested in helping blind computer science students in their activities at our university and one thing we found out is that orca reads latex literally, which is not very nice if you're trying to understand maths topics.

Does anyone know if there is a module for orca or a work around it to get latex read in a more natural way? for example $\lvert x \rvert$ read as “absolute value of x”

Thanks a lot for any information!
Best regards
Paula Estrella
