Every time I try to replace Microsoft Word with an open source alternative, I get stuck on the accessibility options. As a math teacher of non-technical students, I need an easy way to generate text-to-speech for students with visual impairments. It needs to be able to read math correctly.
LibreOffice and PDF's generated in LateX can't get the job done, even for beginning algebra students.
Meanwhile, Microsoft Word is pulling far ahead. The screen reader has improved even since the last time I checked. The inflections have gotten better and it includes audible breaths.
@thelinuxEXP, this is the kind of issue I was thinking of when I said I was very interested in hearing about your teaching. The more people looking at ed tech in the open-source world, the better.
