Abstract
The math OCR software, “InftyReader” can recognize properly printed math and scientific documents including many special symbols and technical notations such as math expressions. The recognition result can be converted to various accessible formats. The accessible math-document editor, “ChattyInfty” enables visually disabled people not only to read but also to author math documents with speech output. The current version of InftyReader can also recognize PDF files and achieves remarkable recognition rate for both of text and math parts. In the current version of ChattyInfty, user can customize various settings concerning speech output. A new function relevant to producing DAISY math books is also implemented.
