Abstract
Learning and using mathematical notation poses particular difficulties for people with various disabilities, partly due to its wide range of symbols and rather complicated layout. These pose great challenges, often affecting the educational and career opportunities of people who are visually impaired or have limited (or no) use of their hands or arms. Assistive systems to alleviate these difficulties would be of considerable benefit to such groups of people
