[Blindmath] computer code

[derek riemer]

Hi:

Coding bat I believe it is called provides exercises for coders to try 
as they learn.

HTH,

Derek

P.S. I haven't seen a cure for the random spaces in the middle problem, 
but I suspect once NVDA gets speech abilities to play sounds in the 
middle, we could do similar where we beep to report spacing,, or we 
could say "6 space" in the middle of a line.
