Re: [orca-list] orca to read latex



Hi,

You should look at emacspeak for the best speech based access to latex
authoring.

http://emacspeak.sf.net

It provides solid speech support for various tex modes of emacs.

I have also used vim's latex mode with Speakup.

Or, if using refreshable braille display, brltty with either emacs or
vim in a console is probably best.

I'm unaware there's any particular support for latex in blind user
oriented graphical AT such as Orca, and it's not the tool of choise for
emacs and vim.

Hello, I'm new to the list so I apologize if this topic has already
been discussed, in
that case point me to the right threads.

We're trying to assist our blind students in computer science and at
the moment the option chosen is orca but it gets difficult when they
have to read maths in latex, so the question is: is there any orca
module to specifically read latex (in a more natural way than
literally)? if not, do you think it would be too difficult or of any
interest to contribute to orca by developing such a module?

Thanks a lot for any information
Paula Estrella
