[Blindmath] request for suggestion and advice

There was a recent discussion (maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago) on this list of using NVDA with MathPlayer. You can also find information about that at www.ClearSpeak.org<http://www.ClearSpeak.org>, which provides information and downloads. With MathPlayer and NVDA, you can read math with interactive audio/keyboard navigation and refreshable braille output. This works well in FireFox and, if you also have MathType, in Word.

Full disclosure: I was the PI of the U. S. Department of Education, IES-funded project to develop ClearSpeak and the interactive navigation in MathPlayer; we worked with Design Science (primarily Neil Soiffer) to update this functionality in MathPlayer and also worked with NVDA to enhance their MathPlayer interface. Results of research studies on its effectiveness are currently in the publication pipeline.

Regards,
Lois

Respected all,

A friend of mine who is a university teacher has lost his vision recently.
He is now in great problem to perform his classwork. He has to teach higher
level of math like calculus, geometry etc. so how can he read math content
like equations and other math problems? Can jaws or NVDA read math content
or is there any special software for reading and writing math content?
Please help if anyone knows any solution for this!

Thanks and regards.
