1 Discovering Accessible Math that Works with Your AT: Math Support Finder 2016 CSUN Conference March 25, 2016

2 Page 2 Our Panelists Sue-Ann Ma (Moderator) Product Manager, DIAGRAM Center Sina Bahram President, Prime Access Consulting Joshua Hori Assistive Technology Analyst, University of California, Davis Neil Soiffer Senior Scientist at large Dr. Volker Sorge MathJax Consortium and Progressive Accessibility Solutions

3 Page 3 Today’s Session ● Recap of CSUN 2015 and reading math today ● Math Support Finder: a new tool that aims to help identify how and where math can be read accessibly ● Early feedback from one Alt Media Specialist ● Innovative math technologies available in 2016 ● Remaining gaps and what’s ahead

4 Page 4 Math Reading ● From 2015 to 2016: –Growing support for accessible math content –Growing technology combinations available for supporting accessible math reading –Significant progress, but very complex and continually shifting  How do we keep up?! ● But first, videos demoing a few reading experiences: –JAWS (with Math Viewer)JAWS (with Math Viewer) –NVDA (with MathPlayer)NVDA (with MathPlayer) –VoiceoverVoiceover

5 Page 5 A new tool: Math Support Finder Math Support Finder: http://msf.mathmlcloud.org/http://msf.mathmlcloud.org/ Select your preferences: ● Platform/Operating System ● Assistive Technology ● Application (browser or reading system) ● File Format ● Output (i.e. braille, audio, visual)

6 Page 6 Example: What works with Voiceover-mobile? 2 options using Voiceover-mobil) & part of the “Details” page

7 Page 7 Question: What works with NVDA? 7 options using NVDA (various file formats)

8 Page 8 Question: What works with JAWS? 6 options using JAWS (all for HTML)

9 Page 9 Applications of Math Support Finder ● Math Support Finder uses: –Struggles of an Alt Media Specialist when it comes to math –Using Math Support Finder to identify gaps and solutions –What we’ve learned so far ● Frequently Asked Questions: –What works on an iOS device? –What works with a Microsoft Word file? –What works in braille? –What works with JAWS?

10 Page 10 FAQ: What works with JAWS?

11 Page 11 Details about the setup

12 Page 12 Notes & Access Modes

13 Page 13 Specifics about an Access Mode: Prosody

14 Page 14 Innovative technologies already available ● Math accessibility beyond the Web –Word, PowerPoint (demo) –Accessible math input in Word (sort of) ● Accessible math input –WIRIS math editor (demo, browser-based, hand writing)WIRIS math editor –Pearson TestNav math editor (Nemeth!)Pearson TestNav –MathHear (simplified interface)MathHear –ChattyInfty (text and math)ChattyInfty

15 Page 15 ● More STEM content is moving to the web  Accessibility support improves faster for the web than for desktop applications  Polyfill solutions for specialist content ● Latest MathJax AT support  MathJax is a library to (visually) render Math  Now also contains generic accessibility support  https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-RespEq/wiki/Support-Matrix- a11y-tool https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-RespEq/wiki/Support-Matrix- a11y-tool ● Improved standardization for Web and APIs Latest technology & looking ahead
