Given the academic world we are in, there are people making heroic efforts to make latex more accessible, and I don't want to discount that work.
However, none of these systems work well, and I think it'd an unsolvable problem due to the fundamental foundation of TeX, which is actually a text rewriting system, so when using packages there never is a nice semantic description of the page. The only thing to do is to rewrite every package in another language, which describes semantically how to latex should be interpreted.
- impendia 7y agoSince you seem knowledgeable about the topic, could I ask -- What would an ideal solution look like? Say I have a complicated equation. How could I present it (in any format) so that a blind person could read it, and understand it as easily as possible?
- CJefferson 7y agoCurrently, the best practical option is do it in latex, but ensure the raw latex file is available as well as a pdf.
- impendia 7y agoMy question is more hypothetical than practical: what would an ideal solution look like? I literally have no idea.
