[BlindMath] The state of math equations across solutions

[Romack, Justin]

We take the HTML/MathML route. Our HTML/MathML is prepared in Word, so if I had a student who wanted the DOCX source, I could also provide that.

Our STEM faculty have all been pretty good at providing the LaTeX source, so this is also an option if a student requested - however we don't have many BVI students taking math courses outside of basic requirements, so LaTeX is going to be way outside the scope of what many know or are going to want to fuss with.

Hello Everyone,



If you were to offer advice to a math professor on which solution to utilize for accessible math solutions, which would you choose? Would you stick to a HTML-based solution, use Microsoft Word's Equation Editor or another solution for the widest support for math equations with both JAWS and NVDA? I have been away from this space for a while so wanting to get opinions on this as it relates to the current state of accessibility and tooling that is in market now.



Thanks for any advice ...



Jeff
