[Emacspeak] Re: Mathimatics mode / specific configurations for different environments

[Isaac Leonard <isaac.m.j.s.leonard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This looks okay although it looks like its pretty much a one shot
process like an audiobook rather then a navigable document, is this
correct?
Would it be possible to make this work on the fly? So generating and
reading the mathimatics while jumping around a LaTeX document?

For the specific mode idea I've made some much better pronounciation
substatutions now, heres my current pronounciation dictionary config for
org-mode:
(emacspeak-pronounce-set-dictionary 'org-mode
 '(("\\cdot" . " dot ") ("\\sqrt" . " square root")("\\gamma" . " gamma") ("^2" . " squared ") ("{AB}" . "{A B}") ("_a" . " sub ay ") ("\\mod" . " modulo ") ("$" . "") ("_" . " sub ") ("^" . " to the power of ") ("{". " start ") ("}" . " end ")))

I've been using org-mode instead of raw latex as it is able to strip a lot
of the unneeded formatting tags.
The current issues with just using the pronounciation dictionary for
this is that I can't specify environments within a buffer that it should
apply to.
For example reading a code snippet in an src block should not have these
pronounciations.
It also only lets me work with regexp as far as I know so I can't match
pronounciations for opening and closing braces.
I might see if I can make something work with switching out
pronounciations on the fly depending on where in the buffer I am though.
