[BlindMath] Accessible LaTeX Editor with Biber

Mon Apr 30 15:12:07 UTC 2018

Hi,

Appologies for my slow reply. I use a port of Emacs that comes bundled with ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) and AucTeX. These two packages allow for programming in the R language and the writing of LaTeX documents, respectively. General information and links to download the modified Emacs distribution can be found at:

Hi Robin,
I very interested about Emacs port on windows.
Where I could find information and links to test it?
Thanks.

I gave up on Winedt some time ago as it's accessibility was deteriorating, and it sounds as though that hasn't changed.

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.
