Hi All,

Auditory function plotting features are also
available as part of The vOICe Learning Edition
software. Pressing function key F8 pops up the
built-in auditory graphing calculator. This is
described in detail on the web page at the URL

   http://www.seeingwithsound.com/winmath.htm

Moreover, The vOICe's very general screen content
sonification functions can be used to access graphs
from general math packages such as like Matlab and
Mathematica. In combination with your screen reader
this can give you access to all the math power of
those packages. Pressing function key Alt F9 lets
The vOICe sound the content of any window that has
focus, optionally using inverse video via function
key F5 to hear dark curves on a bright background.

What's more, tactile feedback may at the same time
be obtained from the ifeelpixel technology, used in
conjunction with The vOICe. This can help you with
the interpretation of complex graphs, by letting
you feel the details within a complex graph while
you listen to the correspondingly complex soundscape
of the full graph.

All of this is described on the above web page.

Although The vOICe's primary objective is to sound
your visual environment as observed via a webcam,
it includes many features for use at the desktop.

Best wishes,

Peter Meijer
