[AI] FW: [BlindMath] Extension for improving math reading experience on Wikipedia

Subject: [BlindMath] Extension for improving math reading experience on
Wikipedia

I'm happy to announce a FireFox extension
a
nd
a Chrome Extension

for improving the math reading experience on Wikipedia pages.

>From the extension's overview:
Increases accessibility of math in Wikipedia pages by reverse engineering
inline representations

Wikipedia makes math accessible by hiding MathML next to the image it
produces. Assistive Technology (AT) can then convert the MathML to speech or
braille. This extension extends that trick to inline math by converting the
"HTML math" in the page into MathML and inserting hidden MathML back into
the document. The original output is hidden from AT by marking it with
aria-hidden="true". Thus, the sighted user sees the original expression and
the AT only sees the MathML.

The improvement this extension makes varies with the page and the language.
In the English pages, it makes a significant improvement: almost all but a
few percent of the mathematical expressions are now accessible with this
extension. The same is true to a somewhat lesser extent for the French
pages. Most German, Asian, and Arabic pages appear to use embedded MathML
and so the extension probably won't help for those languages because they
are already accessible. If in doubt, try it out.

This extension helps for displayed math also (mainly English pages). Many
Wikipedia pages place larger math expressions on their own line inside of a
list tag, probably for presentation reasons. However, this causes screen
readers to say "list with one item" ... "out of list" for each piece of
display math. This extension adds role="presentation" so that AT does not
see the math as being a list and just reads the math. The display of the
math is unaffected.

The extension is only active on wikipedia.org pages. It should work with any
AT that reads math in MathML. This includes JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and Orca.

No user data is collected by this extension.

===
Note: this is an update with several bug fixes of an experimental Firefox
extension my son, a friend of his, and I released 6 years ago. I finally
figured out how to make it work in Chrome. If there is enough interest, I
can work with some to get a Safari version working -- I don't have a mac so
I can't test anything.

I hope some people find the extensions helpful,

Neil Soiffer

[AI] BGFI’s Knowledge Transfer on Assistive Applications

[Blind Graduates' Forum of India]

Dear all,


Greetings from Blind Graduates Forum of India (BGFI)and XRCVC, St. Xavier’s
College, Mumbai!

After a long break, BGFI is back with its physical classroom session along
with XRCVC on account of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD).

When: Saturday, 28th May from 3:30 to 5:30 PM.

Venue: Multimedia Room (MMR), first floor, near the XIMR building, St.
Xavier's College, 5, Mahapalika Marg, Mumbai – 41.

(Courtesy: XRCVC)

Since accessibility is of utmost importance to all persons with
disabilities, we will be demonstrating 2 assistive applications


1.   I-Stem: An OCR based android app developed for documents and
audio-video accessibility. Unlike other OCR apps, the app provides proper
formatting of a page including tables, heading, multi-column layout and
documents containing mathematics. Along with documents accessibility, the
app also provides the text extraction from videos for easy understanding of
screen share during the online calls or classes. The application will be
demonstrated by Shakul Sonker, Co-founder I-Stem.

2.   Spacefelt: QR code-based Android application that helps users with
visual impairment easily label, scan, and identify things around them. This
app has to be used along with the Spacefelt waterproof stickers or
cloth-based tags. We’ll have Vivian Manohar demonstrating the application
to us. Vivian is the CEO of Grailmaker Innovations, an Assistive Tech
start-up based out of Hyderabad. He pursued his Masters in Mechanical
Engineering in Germany and went on to work as a product Manager at the
Innovations department, LV Prasad Eye Institute.

Re: [AI] Tax exemption on buying vehicles for PWDs

[Ankit Kapoor]

The blind do not get any concession.  People with other types of
disabilities get a discount.
