[Athen] Data Science notation

[Joshua Hori via athen-list]

Mathpix.com is the easy button for accessible scientific notation. Although they may need to alter their verbosity settings to indicate when there’s a capital letter in equations, if they’re present. It has DOCX exporting and creates LaTeX you can copy and paste into Canvas.

Had this issue with a blind Grad student in GIS working with genome equations and we had to figure out how to make it readable to their screenreader. The book was available through a web page created by the professor, and we played with screenreader configurations to announce a beep/click to indicate capital letters.

Hi

We have a student who are doing Data Science who need to have their documentation OCR’d to be read with Jaws.  Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to do the scientific notation.  I do not want to start using LaTeX so any other ideas would be great.

Thanks

Lorraine
