[BlindMath] Mathematica

[Tony Malykh]

I don't want to disappoint you, but probably Wolfram doesn't lose 
anything here. Besides catchy headlines, there's not much gain for 
wolfram to improve accessibility of their GUI, especially since their 
text interface is fully accessible anyway.

I managed to successfully used Mathematica in the past to compute some complicated derivatives symbolically. Here is an example I just ran to show that it's accessible over SSH (hint: if you buy a raspberry pi it comes with a free copy of Mathematica):
