[Nfb-science] WinTriangle

[John Miller]

Mark and others,
Can you independently create math using mathtype as a blind person?
For this task, I only know that Chatty Infty does the job. Its output is latex or mathml and provides speech output as you write mathematics.
Very best,
John

Hi Mark,
  Thank you sincerely for the information. No I have not heard of Math Type to my memory.
Many thanks,
Christine
