Abstract

Understanding and internalizing complex mathematical expressions is a difficult task for visually impaired students. We present the design of an auditory browser, currently under development, for browsing complex mathematical expressions via audio. The architecture of the browser is influenced by experiments performed to study the perceptual and cognitive processes involved in reading mathematical expressions. The auditory browser is interactive and facilitates aural navigation of mathematical expressions. The characteristics of the browser along with its implementation are discussed in this paper.
