[NFBCS] Accessible math content

[Michael Ausbun]

               Greetings Federation Family,
               At work, I am working on a project right now, to ensure equal access for *all* people to our math content. We are an entirely online university. We have fairly consistent results rendering our math content into accessible electronic braille, but we are looking for a solution for those users who may not be braille readers or who are not strong braille users. Although we could provide readers (and have in the past), we would like to discover a consistent, accessible solution to allow screen readers to interpret and properly convey content of math equations to our students. Doing lots of research, I have found a lot of conflicting information, and I thought who better to ask than my federation family. Any suggestions would be highly valued!
               As I understand it, the issue here seems to consistently be both user agent related or assistive technology related (inclusive disjunction, here).
Respectfully,
michael

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] WARNING: Be wise. Be cautious.

hello. We just learned this week that Be My Eyes has contracts with
Google and Microsoft to provide free support for issues using their
services. They claim this is an in to their engineering departments. For
the capcha problem, I suggest trying Be My Eyes with the new professional
support service so Google gets to experience, first hand, what it's like to
use their service for the blind on third party web sites.

-thanks
