(hopefully modern screen reading software is clever enough to OCR and summarise images as it does text.
And if not, then that seems to be something that is now within reach of modern AI and just needs application.)
- thaumasiotes 1y agoIt wouldn't really matter; the image includes a lot of structure that isn't present in the text that KaTeX provides. A text-only screen reader will never produce anything but gibberish if you feed it KaTeX output. KaTeX will also style the text so that it visually resembles the image, stopping this problem from occurring for non-blind readers. You could have a screen reader that parsed all of the layout, but it seems like you might just as well OCR the image at that point.
- James_K 1y agoThe image does have LaTeX source as it's alt text, so should be at least somewhat understandable for screen readers.
