Question from EASI -- What is the InftyReader?
This might be useful information. If not for you, then for some of your
brighter students. The InftyReader makes advanced math more accessible
for students with visual impairments opening high quality employment or
opening the way to an advanced degree.
"InftyReader is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application that
recognizes and translates scientific documents (including math symbols)
into LaTeX, MathML and XHTML! Optical character recognition (OCR)
technologies are invaluable for improving access to printed materials by
people with print disabilities.Most do not work well with scientific
content. Scientific documents typically include mathematical and other
special symbols that standard OCR does not recognize. In addition, no
standard commercial OCR application can recognize a
two-dimensionally-structured math equation and convert it to a standard
software format. The InftyReader OCR application can properly recognize
scientific documents scanned from paper or in PDF format. InftyReader
recognizes complicated math expressions, tables, graphs and other
technical notations and converts them to accessible formats. InftyReader
can be used by people with print disabilities in combination with the
ChattyInfty accessible scientific editor application.
Steve Jacobs from the Ideal Group is presenting a webinar for EASI
introducing this highly sophisticated set of applications.
When? Thursday March 23 at 11 Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 Central and 2
Eastern
