Hi Tom and Roger,
The Math markup must be set in the description, which can be read by
screenreaders as an alt attribute of the image of the equation. I do not
have any experience with Orca. As I understood it must work fine with
JAWS. You can try NVDA too. The problem is that each screen reader has
its own way to show the description. It also differs per version of the
software.
You can also try Adobe Pro which gives you a good insign in the
accessibility of the document.
Kind regards, Jaap

Hi :)
I have forwarded this to the accessibility list which is usually faster and better at answering these problems than the Users List.
Unfortunately protonpusher is not subscribed to the Accessibility List (i think) so please CC replies directly to him/her.
Thanks and regards from
Tom :)

I am looking for some guidance with math equations in Impress presentations,
taking into account accessibility requirements. I am using LibreOffice on
Ubuntu. Also a consideration is that the presentations would be converted to
pdf as well.
My understanding is that description attached to the equation would serve as an
alt tag when I convert to pdf. Where I am sort of stumped is what to put in the
description. One though was to copy the Math markup to the description. However
I am not actually sure how visually impaired students would be able to use
this. I played around with Orca, but could not get it to read the equation in
either the original Impress presentation, or in the pdf output.
So, 1) Am I going in the right direction putting the LO Math markup in the
equation description, and 2) How would I read the description in the Impress
presentation if I were visually impaired?
