Abstract

The project REMathEx is developed at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno as a support for blind students allowing them to study complex mathematical expressions. The system uses the combination of the braille display and the speech synthesis outputs to provide the user with all the information concerning studied mathematical expressions. The basic principles of the system and its use are described in the paper.
