I listened to about 30 minutes of the podcast and for the most part
I understood the way the program operates. It will get the document
formatted and correct on all levels, but he through me off when he
started doing math problems. I am OK in math but when you bundle
that with this program it made for a difficult listen. I will try
it out an see how it goes, but that will prove interesting to
learn. I already have to learn the Mac and this thing is something
new to master in the world of word processing. I just hope that I
can make it.

Hi James, VaShaun, and others,
Justin Harford did a demo of LaTex using VoiceOver and TeXShop
on Blind Cool Tech if you are interested in getting an impression
of how TeX documents and the TeXShop program for the Mac work.
The mp3 file is at:
http://mediacloud.libsyn.com/bct/bct1078IntroductionToLaTeX.mp3
or, you can go to the Blind Cool Tech Podcast page at
http://www.blindcooltech.com/
and look for "Introduction to LaTeX" 6/26/07
Cheers,
Esther

That's right the learning curve is steep with TeX, the rewards are
well worth it however.

It is free, but please get in touch if you've not used it
before, it
is not simply a case of typing as with a word processor

I think I will be getting Latex . Is it totally accessible and how
much does it cost?

There is also Latex (pronouned Laytech), which is a type-setin
tool. It is extremely powerful and versitle, but does require
time to learn. Although, the benefits are rewarding, especially
for Blind users in my personal opinion, as I use it exclusively
for my University assignments. I don't want to clutter the list
with discussions about Latex, so please feel free to E Mail me
off list, if you'd like to know more.
