AsTeR --Audio System For Technical Readings-- is a computing system that
exploits the display-independent nature of electronic information to orally
render technical documents marked up in La)TeX.

You can experience an interactive demo of AsTeR on the World Wide Web at
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/raman/aster/demo.html

This hypertext document presents a collection of math examples rendered in
audio by AsTeR and in Postscript by LaTeX/DVIPS.

It aptly brings out the power of the Web in publishing multimedia documents:
none of my journal publications come with online demos.

It also emphasizes the display-independent nature of electronic markup
documents; both the audio formatted version and the visually laid out
Postscript were generated from the same LaTeX source.
