[nfbcs] LaTeX and Accessible Documents

[Nicole Torcolini]

If people know Nemeth and have a Braille display on which to read it,
Duxbury  will convert LaTeX to Nemeth. Scientific Notebook will also convert
LaTeX to Math ML, which can be read on the internet with Math Player. I do
not know all of the details, but JAWS 16 has some kind of new support for
Math ML.

Subject: [nfbcs] LaTeX and Accessible Documents

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
I am currently working on a free cryptography library called FCL. Part of
the materials generated from this project are a set of english descriptions
for the ciphers, block cipher modes, hash functions, etc. I plan to
distribute these with the project, and I might compile them together and
distribute them as documents on my web site or something like that.

Having run into the problem of accessibility of mathematical and other
tehcnical material first hand, I had hoped to make these materials
accessible. I used the LaTeX type setting system to write these documents. I
could simply provide the LaTeX source as an option since the PDF's are not
particularly accessible, or I could do something else if people have
suggestions on something that might be better. Does anyone have any ideas as
to how I could make a more accessible end-product from my LaTeX sources?
This information would also be useful to me for situations where I want to
share something like an academic paper I wrote with my blind friends, as I
use LaTeX for those as well.
