摘要: Persons with visual impairments can access digital information through screen reading software. Still, accessing mathematical equations is challenging due to their non-linearity. We propose improve the accessibility of by associating a cognitive complexity metric each equation and then use this modify audio rendering. For example, will allow rendering complex substituting chunks variables. This potentially reduce load in comprehending persons impairments. Further, needs be personalized on basis various user characteristics.
