[BlindMath] Accessible LaTeX Editor with Biber

Mon May 14 08:48:30 UTC 2018

Hi,

I generally find that JAWS works well with Emacs, so I've no need for an Emacs-specific script. I sometimes have to refresh the virtual buffer (JAWS + escape), but other than that I don't do anything special. The Emacs accessibility isn't 100%, but I guess I've used it for so long that I've become accustomed to it and know how to work around things quickly.

Oki,

but, do you have any script for Jaws?

With Emacs and Nvda, some information it is not enounced or not correctly.

For instance, in Dired mode, we first hear the mod and file size before the name of our file.

>> 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:

>>> 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 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.
