Navigable, Customizable TTS for Algebra

To improve accessibility of math expressions for students with visual impairments, our project employs MathML and the products MathType and MathPlayer to provide an improved style of synthetic speech called ClearSpeak. This paper describes the project’s background, the essential features of ClearSpeak, and results of the first feedback study with students that show for the tested notations, ClearSpeak was superior to the two pre-existing speech styles in MathPlayer (SimpleSpeak and MathSpeak).
