[Athen] Math converter

[Joshua Hori via athen-list]

Allyant will convert PDF’s to Word and HTML with math content in it. Other PDF remediators convert the math into an image and put alt text in the background.

If they’re handwritten notes, use SeeingAI mobile app to convert the handwriting into digital text. Mathpix.com will convert image and handwritten math into accessible math and export into DOCX or HTML.

Charts and graphs may be a little harder, although you may want to look at AI providing descriptions. I’ve been using the “Image Braille GPT” in ChatGPT for the best descriptions of library infographics. You can prompt it for shorter descriptions if an alt tag is needed.

ASU also has an image describer, which includes an alt tag suggestion. I prefer the OpenAI model and asking for shorter and shorter descriptions: https://asuo-images.streamlit.app/

Hello everyone,

An incoming graduate student in economics will need math (notes, formulas, charts, graphs etc) converted into word or text.

I would appreciate recommendations.

Many thanks,
