[Blindmath] Question about orca reading latex

[Paula Estrella]

Hello, thanks for your answer! no, we don't have to stick to orca, we're
just trying to find a nice solution for our blind students, so I'll check
chrome vox and see if it is available for the spanish language and how
useful it could be.
Thanks again!
Paula
