Michael, do I understand that one can input Nemeth into Safari as well as output it? That would be pretty amazing. This is a good time to bring you all up to date on LEAN Math. I just posted a new beta version and hope to have a final release before end of 2013. LEAN is a general interface to math for use with audio or braille screen readers. It was developed to provide a convenient way to write and manipulate math, not just read it. In principle LEAN is useful for any authoring system that can input and output MathML. Version 1 is an interface to MS Word+MathType. I went that route because it is the most popular scientific authoring application in the world. LEAN should be very intuitive. Function keys act as pull-down menus for math symbols and expressions. There are also hot keys for most popular items such as inserting a fraction or a square root, or a table, an integral, a differential, etc. These are inserted from the Function Key menus or hot keys, and place markers indicate where you are to insert - ie the numerator and denominator of that fraction, etc. LEAN was developed to be extremely convenient for people using speech, but it works in braille too. If you'd like to join the beta test, send me a note. _______________________________________________ Blindmath mailing list [email protected] http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindmath_nfbnet.org To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for Blindmath: http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/blindmath_nfbnet.org/pranav.lal%40gmail.co m Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
