[Blindmath] Math and pdf

[Theodor Loots]

Hi!

The best you can do with such a PDF is to use the OCR software, InftyReader
from www.sciaccess.net.  As far as I'm aware, it's the only OCR software
that can handle mathematics.  I use it quite often, and continuous
improvements are made to better the product.  It can even handle
mathematical expressions in tables.

Hope this helps,
t

Subject: [Blindmath] Math and pdf

Hi all,
   I'm Dzhovani and this fall I will take a calculus course at my
university. Unfortunately, braille textbook is not available, so the
publisher offered me a pdf file with the textbook which they called
"accessible". However, when I opened the file, while the text was readable,
the math formulas were presented just as blank spaces.
   Does anybody have an idea how I can access the math parts of the
document?
   I'm using Windows 7 with Jaws13 and NVDA.
Thanks in advance,
Dzhovani
