They are more interested in generative grammar: take a semantic representation and render it into several different natural languages. What would be needed for input from the user is a grammar AND A RECOGNIZER FOR THAT SPOKEN LANGUAGE that encompasses (say) Sage. A grammar for naturally spoken mathematics fragments can be constructed, and with error correction facilities might be useful. A complete grammar that handles all input is probably unattainable. Getting the phonemes into the right lexemes for math is difficult, and so far as I know, there is no free open-source program that is even close to handling this problem. Even proprietary software doesn't do all that well without substantial diddling. Presumably this would be no harder with Maxima or anything else... >> > It would presumably be somewhat easier.
