[bcab] Re: Jaws and Matlab

Hi again Jenifer,
 
It appears that my BlindMath url was out of date so here is one which I
believe to be current:

Hi Jenifer,
 
Welcome to the list.
 
I haven't noticed any replies to your enquiry and I'm afraid I don't
have any experience of the application you mention myself.
 
Unless anyone else comes up with more specific information I suspect
that you will get better results by asking the same question on the
Blind math mailing list.
 
The site for the list is at:
http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindmath

 
The W3C has created a markup language for using math presentation called
mathML  but this will be a technical issue which I suspect is outside
the scope of your involvement at the moment.
 
There appears to be a format known as docbook which claims to
incorporate accessible math markup but you might need to Google that.
 
I hope this helps a little and that someone can give you more
enlightened help on the BlindMath list.
 
Regards,
 
Phil Medway

Subject: [bcab] Jaws and Matlab



 

 

 

Hello all. I am new to the list and have a question regarding Matlab.

I am currently studying Computer Science and Cybernetics and am in my
second year of study. I have to use Matlab and have found it very
inaccessible. I have tried the mathworks solutions I found at the
following link:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access
/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_env/bqwp009-1.html&http://www.google.co.uk
/search?hl=en&q=screen+reader+support+matlab&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

I am currently using Matlab r2008a on a windows XP system with jaws 9.0
(note soon to upgrade to jaws 10). How can I make this software usable?
I am happy to try an alternative screen reader (open source or
otherwise) if it will fix the problem! I would also use a Braille
display on its own if this was possible and open source drivers were
available as well as scripts/ad -ons to assist with accessing Matlab!

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Jen!
