Summary description: Access to formulas in PDF files by by assistive
technologies
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We propose the axessibility package. PDF documents containing formulae
generated by LaTeX are usually not accessible by assistive technologies
for visually impaired people (i.e., by screen readers and braille
displays). The axessibility package manages this issue, allowing to create
a PDF document where the formulae are read by these assistive
technologies, since it automatically generates hidden comments in the PDF
document (by means of the /ActualText attribute) in correspondence to each
formula.
