[bcab] Re: Jaws and Matlab

Hello

MathML is also part of the Daisy standard (that is, DTB Book based on XML)

Jennifer, if the problem is the inaccessibility of the IDE, would it help to 
access the MatLab libraries via another language like Java?

Regards
Tony

  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,

  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!
