[Blindmath] Blindmath Digest, Vol 96, Issue 7

Wed Jul 9 08:18:00 UTC 2014

Apart from NCAM guidelines, I would suggest other interesting resources for
describing math graphics:

- the "Accessible image sample book" (DIAGRAM PROJECT) at:
http://diagramcenter.org/standards-and-practices/accessible-image-sample-book.html

- the UKAAF (UK Association for Accessible Formats ) Guidance at:
http://www.ukaaf.org/formats-and-guidance#accessible   and
http://kn.open.ac.uk/public/workspace.cfm?wpid=3560

- Other examples of equivalent text descriptions (Accessed) at:
http://access-ed.r2d2.uwm.edu/EqTDs/

Hope it helps. Best wishes,
