Again, I didn't try it. If you >want to experiment with it, it is at >http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/tex2page/tex2page-doc.html since most context commands are instances of more generic ones, you can define another style to process the file to something suited for blind, say: \setuphead[chapter][style=normal] but that could be a lot of work. More simple is to use pdftotext which works ok for most cases, \setuplayout[header=0pt,footer=0pt] \setupcolumns[n=1] is then probably enough btw, there are ways to get auditive info in the pdf file, for instance let the voice engine speak and so Hans
