NASA's MathTrax transforms graphs and equations in real-time into words

News from Washington! Read "Visually Impaired Students Study Math Using Innovative Software: Sighted kids also benefit from hearing equations via MathTrax program."

MathTrax is a graphing tool for middle school and high school students to graph equations, physics simulations or plot data files. The graphs have descriptions and sound so you can hear and read about the graph. Blind and low vision users can access visual math data and graph or experiment with equations and datasets.
