Whats the Problem? MathML is the recommended markup for accessible math via HTML5 and EPUB 3 Signi鍖cant progress in MathML authoring tools Design Science, iBooks Author, Inkling, Metrodigi, OERPUB, Vision Objects, etc. http://www.w3.org/Math/Software/ http://tinyurl.com/mathml-cloud-edupub Page 2
My Favorite Example MathPad (iOS) from Vision Objects Page 3
However Chrome and IE 11 do not support MathML EPUB/KF8 reading system support poor http://idpf.org/sites/default/ 鍖les/鍖le_attach/ sanders_edupub_slides.pdf http://tinyurl.com/mathml-cloud-edupub Page 4
As Result Many publishers convert MathML to SVG/ PNG images and throw away the MathML Accessibility is lost http://tinyurl.com/mathml-cloud-edupub Page 5
A Solution 1. A publisher or other content creator using a MathML Cloud integrated product, such as a InDesign plugin or a proprietary production toolchain, submits MathML code to the MathML Cloud API http://tinyurl.com/mathml-cloud-edupub Page 6
A Solution 2. The MathML is converted to an SVG image using MathJax. There is an option to further convert the SVG to a PNG image. The MathML is also processed by the integrated ChromeVox math utilities to generate a textual description. http://tinyurl.com/mathml-cloud-edupub Page 7
A Solution 3. The API returns HTML/SVG code and the PNG image. The HTML code contains Schema.org accessibility metadata and a link to the source MathML. The HTML and images can be inserted into a web page or an EPUB 2/3. http://tinyurl.com/mathml-cloud-edupub Page 8
A Solution 4. The end user can choose to click to MathMLCloud.net to access and navigate the original MathML. They can also provide feedback to the publisher and Benetech as to the quality of the automatically generated description. http://tinyurl.com/mathml-cloud-edupub Page 9
