[BlindMath] Emacs with Screen Readers

Wed Jul 19 17:40:11 UTC 2017

I have used (and continue to use) Emacs extensively for text editing, but I have no background in statistics.
Emacspeak is excellent and definitely to be recommended. Emacs works well under Linux with BRLTTY and a braille display. It's also fine under Microsoft Windows with a screen reader, but there you'll get none of the advantages of Emacspeak.
