[BlindMath] Math application for visually impaired students

[Ray McAllister]

Do you have something in the program to also produce a table of values?
Musical notes work for people to just give the general layout, but unless
you have absolute perfect pitch, if you want the actual coordinates quickly,
you need a table of values.  Plus, tables are good if you want to compare
multiple functions.  I'm learning calculus right now, and I've had to write
some simple programs, myself, for tables of values, and I make them
tab-delimited so they can be opened in Excel as spreadsheets.

Subject: [BlindMath] Math application for visually impaired students

I am writing to introduce you to a software application that has the 
potential to help visually impaired students in mathematics.

Audiographs is an application that allows visually impaired students to 
study the graph of a mathematical function. This is achieved by using 
sound or musical notes. The application is interactive and this gives 
you the possibility to study the function in multiple ways.

You can download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/audiographs/ 
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/audiographs/>

I would like you to help me by letting me know how can I make it known 
so people can use it.
It is freely available under the open software license.

Some features:

Easy start up:
After starting the application just enter the function formula and press 
Enter. You will hear the audio representation of the function. Explore 
all settings by using TAB or read the documentation which includes a 
step by step guide.

Accessibility:
It is compatible with NVDA screen reader. The application has an 
autonomous speech synthesizer, for this reason you can disable your 
screen reader. If you don't want to disable your screen reader, press F2 
to disable Audiographs speech synthesizer.

Features:
Change sound settings. Choose maximum and minimum frequency, duration, 
use of musical notes, use of alternative notes for negative values.
Change colors.
Change lines width.

Interactivity:
Navigate the function step by step or from maxima to minima etc.
Explore the first and the second derivative of the function.
Increase/Decrease the step of navigation.
Stop sound at the roots of the function.
Press Ctrl+X and Ctrl+Y to listen to the coordinates.

User-Friendly Interface: The software is designed to be intuitive and 
user-friendly, ensuring that all students can navigate it with ease.

Help:
Documentation - Using F1 opens help file in the browser with many 
examples to practice.

License:
It is freely available under the open software license and users who 
want a feature or a new language to be added can contact the developer.
