I have my doubts about these being able to help a blind person, but they
are worth a shot:
Try:
http://www.iglou.com/vrsky/math.htm
I believe that the address that they provide for the downloadable demo is
incorrect.
The following address is correct:
ftp://www.advwebsys.com/mvc/doMathdm.exe
This archive self-extracts into two pretty cool demos.
Note that the underlying tool, MathType, may be more useful to you if you
use it in a non-graphical/less-graphical manner ... there seem to be
several ways to use it.
