@chronocide @poritzj MathML Support for Screenreaders can vary, with some screenreaders requiring a helper plugin to interpret the MathML.
MathJax, the open source library for displaying math online has assistive MathML that can be used, but in the latest versions, they include a math to speech engine directly into the program, so that any screenreader doesn't need the additional plugins to support MathML.
Unfortunately, NVDA will still read as "number quotation marks"
Similarly, if you are using the actual multiplication sign × (not just a lowercase x), screenreaders will either read as "times" or "by."
Similar problems for fractions symbols ⁄ vs forward slashes /
That's a super complicated question. It makes me sad that it isn't easier. Here's a start:
Full screenreaders will have a verbosity setting, which will impact how symbols are read. Some screenreaders will read it properly if you get the correct symbol in, but not all. For example, the correct symbol for inches is the " double prime. You'll have to be careful that your system isn't converting those to stylized quotation marks.
If you do that, VoiceOver and JAWS will read as inches.
"No one buys [their] books" a report on the big publisher's court testimony.
wow:
"The DOJ’s lawyer collected data on 58,000 titles published in a year and discovered that 90 percent of them sold fewer than 2,000 copies and 50 percent sold less than a dozen copies. "
Yet, they sue to make sure libraries can not buy them (above and beyond copyright). They changed the laws so copyright lasts 95 years-- so no one can get to them.
good stewards of our cultural legacy?
@OpenAccessElder Hi Abby! Just wanted to share some resources SUNY made with Lumen Learning when we were onboarding new OER Leads on our campuses. It's a little bit older, but includes many of the topics you are talking about. All CC-BY #OER
