Mathematical expressions and text are presented to the user in a linear formon the braille display and through speech output. Visual rendering in a linear&lt;br /&gt;
form enables the sighted reader to understand what the blind user is writing.&lt;br /&gt;
Asynchronous two-dimensional visual rendering of mathematical notation is available. Many editing and exploration operations are available. The LAMBDA&lt;br /&gt;
system imports and exports MathML files. That makes possible transnational exchange of scientific digital resources. In this talk are presented the basic&lt;br /&gt;
features of the LAMBDA system, state-of-the-art and future development and in which educational contexts the LAMBDA system is used. Especially, the experience&lt;br /&gt;
with blind students in Italian schools undertaken by Istituto dei Ciechi di Milano is illustrated.&lt;/p&gt;
