I also have trouble with working through a problem in latex. But I think with lots of grammar customization it should work. Just the difference going from "x-ray underscore number one" to "x-ray score one" already helped a lot.
I think lyx is much better suited as you can at least see what you are doing. For me the biggest hurdle is actually navigating within a formula in lyx. And I have not found a work around for that yet...
Would definitely be worth a try I think:

There is none of the "nested boxes" nonsense you get in lyx
Apologies, I'm significantly late to the discussion. @annakirkpatrick before using Castor and subsequently Mathfly I was toying with LaTeX as a means for getting around my RSI to do some courses in calculus and linear algebra. It didnt take long to run into the same problems as you describe i.e., difficulty editing LaTeX source code and keeping all the elements of the expressions in my head.
To address the latter problem for some time I was trying to get some form of LaTeX live preview going in Vim whereby the LaTeX output would update in real-time. But there was still the problem of editing the source code in amongst all those brackets!
In the end, as I had already purchased MathTalk before this out of desperation (and found basically useless) I already had scientific notebook installed. The combination of scientific notebook + Mathfly was sufficient for me to get through calculus and linear algebra. Im currently working on probability theory for a data science master's and things are going well.
Using scientific notebook for me has solved both the editing mathematics problem and eliminated the need to keep all mathematical expressions in your head as it is displayed readily in SN. Hence I was able to manipulate algebraic expressions while simultaneously trying to work out the problem in question like you described.
The caveat here is that you are probably working on a much higher level of mathematics than me so I can't say for sure whether the same will apply to you. This is especially pertinent given the fairly steep pricetag for MathTalk.
But in short, I have found the combination of MathFly + Scientific Notebook enough for me to successfully navigate my mathematics courses. Whether that's any use for you I don't know.
I don't have a huge amount of experience with programs like that but I know a few people have recommended TeXmaker to me and it seems pretty good - you can have the document in the left pane and the rendered output in the right.
In general I would say that an editor that is good for keyboard users will also be good for use with Mathfly - there is nothing particularly special about dictating since it is just emulating keystrokes.
Okay the changes in this pull request should get you started
https://github.com/mrob95/mathfly/pull/22/files
You can either re-download all the files from the new branch (https://github.com/mrob95/mathfly/tree/texmaker), switch branches using git if you're familiar with it, or manually download the new file and make the settings change. Let me know if you have issues getting it set up though.
I hope that the texmaker.py file is reasonably self-explanatory, feel free to add new shortcuts as you need them
Hello @mrob95
I have a question - I am trying to install and use mathfly following the instructions on the website. When launching dragon I keep getting one error in "Messages from Natlink":
No handlers could be found for logger „monitor.init“
I already tried reinstall Natlink, and also run "pip install dependencies.bat" , but I got the error anyway.
Thanks in advance for help.
@David_Kostak_gitlab Hi! Have you tried using any of the mathfly commands? Do they work? This may be something you can safely ignore.
If not then the first thing to try would be to make this change to the _mathfly_main.py
file - moving the logging stuff before the dragonfly import. The window should then show whatever it is that is being logged
Let me know
@mrob95 Hi! Thanks for your answer and help.
Mathfly commands behaves strangely. On one hand when I use expessions as fraction, product, integral, plus or minus, Lyx writes what it´s supposed to (as math expressions).
On the other hand expressions as x-ray, equals, bravo, alpha, or numbers are written in words.
So that's both hopefull and depressing :-)
I followed your instructions. The message is now: WARNING:monitor.init:DPI awareness could not be set; it has been set already.
Which doesn´t seem to be the real problem... I will be gratefull for any ideas what's wrong and what should I try to do.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you for this awesome piece of software!
I am a disabled student studying electrical engineering online at Arizona State University.
I was wondering if there is support for Scientific WorkPlace since it is made by the same company that makes Scientific Notebook. The reason why I was wondering about Scientific WorkPlace is because it has official LaTeX support, while Scientific Notebook does not (as far as I know).
@secretsquirrel89 Have you given LyX a try? I think I tried for a while to get scientific workplace 6 to work well and found it wasn't really set up well for keyboard input, but I can't remember exactly what the problem was.
If you find that there is something you could do in workplace that you can't do it either LyX or notebook then let me know and I'll try to have another look
