[BlindMath] Short introduction and Octave question

[White, Jason J]

After reading your question, I installed Octave on my Mac via Homebrew. I discovered that it can be run as follows:
Octave --no-window-system
Which gives an interactive prompt in the terminal.

I don't know the language, so that's as far as I can go without reading documentation.

    Dear list members,
    I am Bernhard Stoeger, blind mathematician from Austria - not Australia -, now working as a computer scientist with main interest in math accessibility for blind individuals. I was already on thist list several years ago, and I am sure that some of you may know me from events such as ICCHP.

    Here a question on Octave: I worked with it some years ago, using version 3.6.4, only in the command line mode. Now a student approaches me, wanting to use it in the current 5.2.0 version. While his sighted teacher suggested the GUI version to him, I found that the GUI shipping with Octave from the GNU distribution is inaccessible - at least in ist default configuration.

    Here the question: Is anygbody of you aware of either a possibility to configure the current GUI towards accessibility, or of an older Octave GUI, perhaps even one from a third party developer, which might be accessible with a screen reader?

    Thanks a lot for an answer, and kind regards, from

    Bernhard Stoeger
