[BlindMath] Question about Computer Programming

[John G Heim]

Yes, emacspeak is really awesome. But just to be clear, its not so much 
that emacspeak has a steep learning curve, its emacs. Well, emacspeak 
itself  isn't a no-brainer but if you are already fluent in emacs, you 
can deal with that.

Also, emacspeak is a Linux program. The OP didn't say but I'd assume 
they are working in Windows.
