Re: [orca-list] orca to read latex

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

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.
