Visual C++, Calculus, and Speech Synthesis.

[Luis O. Freire]

Hi folks,

I have inherited a project whose aim is to deliver math questions on PCs
equipped with a speech synthesizer. The audience for the questions are
partially sighted and blind students, hence the need for the synthesizer.

The software is to be developed in MS Visual C++. Some of the questions
will
involve expressions on the order of triple integrals and other
trigonometric
functions.

I am looking for information, for example people, newsgroups, source
code,
journals, books, anything. I need to know how to internally represent
the
mathemical expressions that would be fed to the synthesizer. The
expression
has to be fed to the synthesizer in way would make sense to the student
who
cannot see it.

Please help. Thank you
