I am the author and maintainer of the LinguisTiX bundle
(ctan.org/pkg/linguistix) developed for enhanced support for
linguistics in LaTeX. It’s a free (as in freedom) software.
It is available at no cost with the latest (and updated)
TeX Live 2025. I am currently working on a package that
provides linguistic glosses in an accessible manner with
LaTeX. Many of my peers from the LaTeX community have
recommended me to discuss the software ideas with blind
linguists (I am using blind as an umbrella term for several
visual impairments) to know what is actually needed by the
community. If you are a linguist and have visual impairments
or if you know someone who has them or if you have ideas
about accessibility requirements in the field of
linguistics, then your help is very much needed for making
the software useful for the community. There are several
ways of getting in touch with me:
1. On my personal email ID provided in the posting.
2. On the dedicated mailing-list:
mail.gnu.org.ua/mailman/listinfo/linguistix-accessibility
3. On the dedicated matrix channel:
https://matrix.to/#/#linguistix:matrix.org
If you are interested in participating or just keeping an
eye on the development, I would suggest joining the mailing
list. Looking forward to a healthy discussion. Thanks.
