I've been working on a project to provide an entirely new and exciting auditory UI to describe mathematical information in an entirely non-visual manner with Pratik for about a year and a half now. Our funding is coming to an end but I will remain involved as we take our research efforts and turn them into an open source, community driven activity. If you are interested in such things, I'd be happy to write or discuss them with you via phone or email but in a different forum as this topic can get very dense and nerdy very quickly and is not apropos to a BSO volunteer list.
