The issue of blindness and legally blind is becoming a
global issue. Based on the last statistics from American
Foundation for the blind, there are approximately 10
million blind and visually impaired people in the United
States alone. Over 45 million people around the world are
completely blind. 180 million more people are legally
blind, and approximately 7 million people are diagnosed
as blind or legally blind every year. One of the greatest
stumbling blocks in the ability of the blind to enter careers
in science, technology, engineering or mathematics is the
paucity of tools to help them read and write equations.
Over the years there have been numerous projects around
the world with the goal of building special tools to help
the visually impaired student read and write equations. In
the current work, we describe some of the most
interesting work in this domain and then attempt to make
recommendations and/or predictions about the future.
