#CSUN16 Audio: Pearson Makes Math More Accessible for the Visually Impaired


In this Blind Bargains audio, Joe talks with Sam Dooley about an accessible equation editor that allows a student using NVDA with Firefox to type math equations in Nemeth Braille that can be seen by a sighted teacher. There are many more possibilities to explore with this technology, and other screen reader/browser combinations are being looked into.
