Hi Ed,
Getting good audio access to high level mathematics in the windows
environment is a problem. I only know of one project that has addressed
this to any level and the solution really isn't Windows-based.
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/raman/aster/demo.html has more
information.
Some people who are blind learn to write/read complex math equations in a
single line, similar to how mathematics is written in programming code
using parens to group expressions. For example, someone might write an
equation:
b=sqrt(-b+1/a-4)
