[BlindMath] Beamer PDF Accessibility

[Caitlin McKeown]

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone has any experience, suggestions, or templates for
making Beamer PDFs accessible?

For a little background, I work at a university and nearly all of our math
and statistics faculty use Beamer to produce their lecture slides. For
those (like me) who are unfamiliar with Beamer, it is a program used to
convert LaTeX directly into presentation slides in PDF format. These slides
are generated directly from LaTeX so all of the underlying code and text is
there, but the output format from Beamer is a completely untagged PDF.
Because of all of the math notation, remediating the slides with Acrobat is
less than ideal, and feels like a step backwards when the LaTeX already
exists. Our faculty would prefer either a different process or a different
tool to make their content accessible using the LaTeX code they have
already written.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Caitlin
