It's my understanding, and limited experience as well, that several
mathematicians that are blind know pretty well how to read and write in
TeX/LaTeX, which is a very detailed typesetting language suitable for math.
This does not solve all the problems, but is a possibility for somebody.



I can verify that this is in fact true. I am totally blind and used a combination of LaTex, Braille Nemmeth Code, and human readers to get to where I am now (two classes away from a B.S. in Mathematics).

I was often able to get my textbooks directly from the author or publisher in LaTex format.
