[BlindMath] BlindMath Digest, Vol 218, Issue 8

[Ketty Ombadykow]

Dear Friends,
I work at Rutgers University and am responsible for making course materials accessible for students who are screen reader users.
We just got a transfer student who is taking precalculus now and calculus I next semester.
Can you provide your recommendations for:
1. Technique and tools for converting pdf math to accessible math? (student does not know Latex).
2. Browser/screen reader combos to read the accessible math?
3. Next semester she is taking inorganic chemistry...any recommendations for making chem accessible?
Thank you so much ...I follow you all to keep us up to date,

Best Regards,
Ketty

Good afternoon.  A little bit off-topic.  I'm looking for accessible software that works well to make genogram diagrams, but thought I'd open up my search a bit to flowcharting and diagramming software more generally.  Anyone found any particular genograph, flowcharting, or other diagramming software to be accessible for creating and/or reading the diagrams?

Thank you,

I normally see if I can get he job done using mermaid. This works well for flow charts, or at least for the ones I've needed.
I have not needed to use symbols  (other than arrows)  in my diagrams to date.
I had to look up genogram to see what you needed. I guess this is another visual tool for our sighted audiences which we might need to make from time to time. It goes well beyond my basic pedigree relationships which are so basic I don't turn them into graphics.
Good luck.
Jonathan
