[Blindmath] Adaptations to textbookk diagrams

[Bente Casile]

Pranav,

I can speak to this since I did this for a publisher over the summer.  If
the publisher sends the book out to get alternative text descriptions, the
person who creates them will call them a decorative image if the picture or
diagram is not necessary for the student to solve the particular problem or
understand written content.  If not, an appropriate description is put in
short or long text areas.  Publishers are doing this for ebooks.  It is a
work in progress so you need to check with the publisher to see if they have
an ebook that now has mathML and alternative text work has been done.  Hope
this helps.

Bente

Hi all,

This question is more for those who mass-produce accessible books. If the
book has a diagram, do you modify it to increase accessibility or do you
render the diagram as is in the book?
