Phoenix: A Novel Context-Aware Voice-Powered Math Equation Workspace and Editor
Kenneth Ge, Ryan Paul, Priscilla Zhang, JooYoung Seo · 2025
Writing mathematical notation requires substantial effort, diverting cognitive resources from conceptual understanding to documentation mechanics, significantly impacting individuals with fine motor disabilities (FMDs).Current limits of speech-based math technologies rely on precise dictation of math symbols and unintuitive command-based interfaces.We present a novel voice-powered math workspace, applying neuroscience insights to create an intuitive problem-solving environment.To minimize cognitive load, we leverage large language models with our novel context engine to support natural language interaction.Ultimately, we enable fluid mathematical engagement for individuals with FMDs-freed from mechanical constraints CCS Concepts• Human-centered computing → Accessibility design and evaluation methods; Accessibility technologies; Accessibility systems and tools; Empirical studies in accessibility.
