I am considering scanning some books that are extremely math heavy
including Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. Is there an
accepted method of translating equations that use multi-line symbols
such as integrals and summations? Also, since I use text-to-speech
rather than braille displays (I only recently became blind and have
not nor intend to learn braille at this time) I have no idea how greek
letters are handled by such devices. All of the books I am
considering scanning have a great deal of math markup, including such
things as super and subscripts, equations as mentioned above etc.
There are also graphs, flowcharts and other elements that I have no
idea how to handle properly.
I have tried searching the existing bookshare library but as far as I
can tell the existing math books focus much more on elementary level
texts rather than univesity course work.
I know wikipedia as an example uses latex markup, but that isn't very
pretty as text in my opinion.
Any thoughts on this?
