[Blindmath] How-to perceive and operate on matrices if blind and not a braille reader

[steve.noble at louisville.edu]

As far as this: "The student has requested their materials in MathSpeak Grammar as an accessible Microsoft Word Document."
The simplest method would be to use Word with MathType expressions and use NVDA+MathPlayer to read the document. You can set MathPlayer's speech style to MathSpeak. That would get you what the student is requesting.

Subject: [Blindmath] How-to perceive and operate on matrices if blind and not a braille reader

Hi,

We have a student that is recently blind and does not read braille. They
will need to take a Finite Math course this Spring (starting next month).
The course includes linear algebra which is concerned with matrix
operations.

The student has requested their materials in MathSpeak Grammar as an
accessible Microsoft Word Document.

Does anyone have any success stories of such a student learning linear
algebra at the higher ed undergraduate level? It's a required course that
the student must pass to graduate.

Thank you,
   Brian Richwine
