Accessibility Task Force
The Accessibility Task Force focuses on universal rendering of mathematical content on the web.
Current work
The Taks force currently works on three aspects of accessibility.
- Identifying and documenting best practices
- By identifying existing tools and documenting the state of assistive technology as it pertains to math rendering on the web, the Task Force aims to enable practitioners to provide best-in-class math rendering.
- Investigating new directions for accessible rendering
- By developing prototypes, the Task Force aims to identify potential improvements to existing tools and processes for producing accessible math rendering.
- Recommendations for web standards
- Based on its work, the Task Force aims to recommend improvements to web standards such as WAI-ARIA.
Results
The following preliminary results have been gathered.
- Deep Labels. Code sample, Screenreader test recordings. A prototype exploring the use of nested aria-label attributes to enrich MathML in a way that provides an accessible, explorable rendering in HTML and SVG.
