| Sep 13, 2022 at 18:23 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | Are you aware of the blindmath mailing list? nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindmath_nfbnet.org I remember years ago learning about different readers from that group, in particular InftyReader which seems to be still going strong: inftyreader.org/2022/06/19/about-inftyreader-group-inc | |

I suspect for the visually impaired adept at braille tactile solutions are best. Can anyone provide some answers to matheducators.stackexchange.com/questions/7581/…? | |
| Sep 13, 2022 at 13:08 | comment | added | Stef | "But there is not much videos on topics of my primarily interests." The youtube channel "Two-minute paper" specialises in presenting lots of papers in two minutes of videos. But it presents almost-exclusively papers about machine learning. I wish there were similar youtube channels for other topics. | |

| Sep 13, 2022 at 8:05 | comment | added | Carl-Fredrik Nyberg Brodda | @YCor I agree on your “by the way”, but I find “rng” surprisingly comprehensible when someone says it to me. It sounds like someone starting an engine, a sound I now associate with losing my identity. Worse is the French translation “annau”, for obvious reasons… | |
| Sep 13, 2022 at 7:14 | comment | added | YCor | I was once invited to give a talk in an audience including a blind person. So, my host asked me to read loudly all I'm writing/displaying. I found this quite useful, even in other circumstances. (By the way, I believe one should ban mathematical terms that are not meant to be pronounceable, such as "rng".) | |

| Sep 13, 2022 at 5:10 | comment | added | Dirk | I always teach students that they have to be able to read a mathematical text and their solutions to exercises out loud. It's a check if they really know what is written and meant. | |
| Sep 13, 2022 at 5:02 | comment | added | user44143 | Most mathematical papers are not written to be read out loud, and many equations are not even spoken out loud by the people writing them — so no, there is probably no good software to do what you are imagining. | |

| Sep 13, 2022 at 2:40 | comment | added | bof | I don't believe a human mathematician can do what you want the software to do, if the formulas are very complicated. Is the output supposed to be comprehensible by a human being, or only by another machine? | |
