From print textbook to MathML

Editor's Notes

  • #4: In photo image editing software (we use MS Paint) we need to manually remove any of the formatting as this will cause problems for InftyReader, the specialized math OCR software.
  • #6: InftyReader chugs through the cleaned up files and using OCR makes the letterforms, numbers and math symbols readable.
  • #8: We use this free open source Word add-on from our colleagues at Central Washington University to highlight all the math content to make it easier for humans to manually check and edit.
  • #13: Changes: PRINT PAGE tag Before: halfway down software recognized GCF and (18,30)=6 as two different equations, this needed to be manually edited. Needed to manually type in “Example 2” as we cropped this out before using InftyReader.
  • #14: This is another tool made by Central Washington University. It is another free open source tool that can be used to highlight and read. It also reads math correctly and can be used as a production tool to output an HTML file that will work correctly with one of the 3 main screenreaders: JAWS, Voiceover or NVDA.
  • #16: Like MS Paint, I never thought I’d be using Internet Explorer ever again. This is what this file looks like in Internet Explorer.
  • #17: To produce accessible math content from a PDF of a textbook we go through these file formats. It’s a bit complicated but it’s possible.
