[BlindMath] Asking for an Accessible Latex editor

[Lukasz Golonka]

Hello,
For another Windows based alternative, I've been doing most of my LaTeX
writing in TeXnicCenter which can compile and open ready PDF with a
single key press, has a spell checker and offers some auto-completion
capabilities. Initially I've been using MiKTeX as a LaTeX environment,
but switched to TeX Live. I was not fully satisfied with this setup
since TeXnicCenter's spell checking capabilities mark each LaTeX
command as a misspell, autocomplete was good but not great, and
configuring it to compile to PDF was painful, but I'm not doing any
LaTeX based writing since I graduated. It is important to point out that
TeXnicCenter is no longer in active development and for some time recent
versions of JAWS do not support it very well, so if these aspects are
important for you I recommend looking somewhere else. Some of my blind
friends used to recommend WinShell, but I do not have any experience
with it personally.

Lukasz
