Blindness
MathML is a flexible markup language that permits math and scientific equations to be displayed on the WWW. Most experts believe it will soon become the dominant method of authoring and displaying math in electronic markup documents.
This research project is intended to provide several Windows applications that permit HTML/mathML documents to be converted to a linear notation that a blind user can read on a computer with a braille or speech screen reader or on one of several specialized braille note-takers.
Conversion applications would permit a blind person to convert a HTML/mathML document into the WinTriangle or DOS Triangle format. WinTriangle is available in beta form from the Science Access Project, and DOS Triangle is available as a free download. WinTriangle is self-voicing. DOS Triangle can be read with a braille or speech DOS screen reader.
