Do I know any screen reader users who have successfully completed advanced math coursework? If so, I would like to meet with you. Boosts requested

@wenwizzle Not directly, no. I'm sighted myself but have worked on software issues like this in the past and enjoy them.

And, while I'm an undergrad math student, I'm also 43 and friends with a professor at GVSU who also makes this a priority when writing open format textbooks.

A blind student at my university wanted to take algebra. It was the first time trying to accommodate that. The publisher of their existing book wanted $40,000 USD to make a Braille version. The university switched to a free open access book that got a Braille version produced in 3 days for free. Or far closer to free than $40k.

No topic should be off limits for blind students and I intend to take time over the next couple of years to help make sure that becomes reality, at least in maths.

A link to the open textbook math section can be found here: https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/subjects/mathematics

Don't be afraid to reach out if you find something there that you want but isn't accessible. I'll help figure something out.
