Popis: Math accessibility work dates back to the 1990s, but these efforts have accelerated rapidly in the last 5 years. It has moved from research into widely used systems that include JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TextHELP. The current systems convert MathML into speech and braille, and allow the users to navigate expressions for better comprehension. Further work on better semantic speech that uses page content or other clues to determine the meaning of the notation and how it should be spoken is ongoing. Work on accessible typed input, braille input, speech input, and accessible ways of doing math (not just reading it) is also underway. Beyond equations, the research on audio and tactile methods of presenting plots and charts has also been performed, and is being incorporated into commonly used software.
