[BlindMath] Accessible LaTeX Editor with Biber

Fri Apr 20 14:47:41 UTC 2018

Does Eclipse or other integrated development environments come into play
here.  To what degree can LaTex be used similarly to a language compiler and
to what degree is special support for LaTex required?  If it is much the
same, can it be used by Visual Studio Community edition, or is that
overkill?  

How are some of you actually using Emax with Latex?  Do you use syntax
highlighting and such?  There is a learning curve to any of these
environments, and it occurs to me that if one is using a subset of LaTex to
handle specific math constructs that the learning curve may be questionable,
but my knowledge of LaTex is not deep at all.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I second Jason's Emacs recommendation, not just for LaTeX, but for any
scientific programming (R, C++, etc). I use the Windows port of Emacs with
JAWS, which is largely accessible. I gave up on Winedt some time ago as it's
accessibility was deteriorating, and it sounds as though that hasn't
changed.

I can't answer your second question. However, you can always run biber and
LaTeX from the command line.

I generally use Emacs for writing LaTeX. When I last tried it, TeXWorks
(supplied as part of the MIKTeX distribution for Microsoft Windows) seemed
to be accessible with a screen reader. You didn't mention having access to a
Mac, so I suppose TeXShop for Mac OS wouldn't help you - again, it has been
recommended as an accessible editor, and it worked with the VoiceOver screen
reader when I last tested it on my Mac.
