Abstract

We outline a system, called TalkMaths, which has been under development for some time, to allow users to create, access and edit Mathematical text documents using speech. This interface system could prove to be of particular advantage to people with a range of disabilities, amongst others. We describe initial results of a study to evaluate how easy this system is to use, and recent developments aimed at improving it and making it more “user friendly” and intelligent.
