I use a public vault as the “textbook” for my discrete math class at a university: https://publish.obsidian.md/discretecs It’s deployed using Obsidian Publish. This semester I have a student with a significant visual impairment (he can only see in one eye and only if it’s zoomed way in) and I’m trying to determine if it will meet his needs in terms of accessibility.
I’ve shown the vault to my university’s disabilities support office and they believe that a screen reader should be able to handle plain text and hyperlinked text. First of all can someone confirm that’s the case? (I do not know what screen reader my student will be using.) Secondly, what about math notation? I had been thinking that Obsidian Publish uses MathJax to render math notation, which converts it to MathML automatically and this works with a screen reader; but right-clicking on math notation on the published vault doesn’t bring up any options to view the MathML. So I’m a little concerned that math notation won’t be accessible to him.
Any thoughts, information, etc.?
