Approximately 5\% of the % students are registered with such a disorder and the number is rising % steadily over the past 10 years. Probably this number is an % underestimation as a number of people opt not to register their % disorder. % } % \<<<{ % A large portion of the study materials we offer to students is % still written material. The authors believe that this will keep on % being so, even given the multimedia and AI options that have % become mainstream. Let's not go into this debate for now.\\ % However, written course texts cannot be but suboptimal for % students with reading disorders. % } % % \<<<{ % For small texts, reading them out loud and recording them using a % voice recorder to create an aid for our target group, is still % feasible. We have taken that in the past for exam % assignments. However, for bigger texts (like course syllabi) this % is beyond the time a professor can afford spending on this small a % group of students. Yes, economic laws also govern teaching! % } % % \subsection{State of the art} % % \subsubsection{In general} % % \<<<{ % Therefore, reverting to readily available text-to-speech software % is an obvious choice. Nowadays, special software exists that % provides the functionality of reading out loud the contents of % electronic documents, e.g. NVDA \cite{NVDA} or % SprintPlus~\cite{SPRINT}. Moreover, more and more standard PDF % readers (such % as Acrobat Reader~\cite{ADOBEREADER} have the facility of % performing text-to-speech). For nontechnical subjects, this works % fine. However, when it comes to technical course syllabi that are % loaded with non-trivial mathematics, the standard text-to-speech % packages fail to meet our expectations. In addition, they cannot % read a sensible textual description of figures or tables. % } % % \<<<{ % The issue with reading mathematics will be solved in the future, % by enforcing mathematical equations to follow a specific standard % that can be parsed and converted, not only into a visual % representation, but also into proper text. MathML will be one of % the candidates for that format. % } % % \<<<{ % The issue with figures and tables can be solved by using the tag % infrastructure of PDF. The format provides a system of tags that % allow you to provide extra information about the content of a % document, in much the same way as you can specify an 'alt' key for % an image in HTML. This tag could contain a proper textual % description of the figure or the table. % } % % \subsubsection{For \LaTeX} % % \<<<{ % Currently, the \LaTeX{} project is investing in enabling \LaTeX{} to % partially automate the tagging of PDFs with the \texttt{tagpdf} % package~\cite{TAGPDF}, such that the user only has to do a minimal % job (adding tags for figures and tables). The goal is to maximize % the accessibility of \LaTeX-produced documents. % } % % \<<<{ % So all is well? Not quite. Though we are confident that --- with enough % time --- the community will solve the issue completely, there are % still some gaps: % } % \begin{itemize} % \spelitem{The tagpdf package is still not a part of the mainstream % \LaTeX{}-kernel.} % \spelitem{MathML reading support in PDF readers is still in its % infancy.} % \spelitem{Many PDF readers do not fully support tags yet.} % \end{itemize} % % \subsection{This package} % % \<<<{ % This package aims to overcome these problems in the meantime and % also to contribute to the longterm goal: making perfectly tagged % PDFs that are read by any PDF-reader. % } % % \<<<{ % In the \emph{first phase} of this package (i.e. the version you are % looking at right now), this package reads your \LaTeX{} source, % converts the text and the formulas to audio files and equips your % PDF with hyperlinks to these files, such that with a few clicks % you can listen to your document. % The audio files are external files that should be packaged with % your PDF to allow a reader to use the document with the available % audio. % You have the choice to use local files or files that are made available on a % server (as holds for this text; the audio files are on the CTAN servers).\\ % How does \spelatex{} read the formulas? It parses your \LaTeX{} constructs and % makes the best of it. This will probably be the part that might % survive up until the very last phase of this package. % } % % \<<<{ % In a \emph{second phase} of this package, the audio files will be embedded % into the PDF. Currently, there are not enough PDF readers that % support this feature. Therefore, we decided to keep using the % external audio files for now. % } % % \<<<{ % In a \emph{third phase}, the audio files \emph{may be} abandoned % alltogether, fully switching to tags. And we do think that this % should be the end goal. The reasons why we say % \emph{'may be'}, are: % } % \begin{itemize} % \spelitem{The voices of the current PDF-readers are still not of the % same quality as the ones available online. And quality does matter.} % \spelitem{The better voices may require cloud access, and probably % will not be free, therefore (us) paying for them at document creation % time, makes more sense to us than having our students pay % for these voices whenever they read the document.} % \spelitem{The industry standard Adobe reader is not easily available % on open-source operating systems (like UNIX/BSD/Linux-derived % platforms). You might consider using emulation using % wine~\cite{WINE}, but in that case you can forget about audio. Free % access to software is something we consider to be a must-have, % rather than a nice-to-have.} % \end{itemize} % % \<<<{ % Will \spelatex{} become obsolete in the future? % Undoubtedly so. But for the time being, it answers our desire to % provide our students with good audio support when studying their % engineering courses. That is now, not only in five years time. % } % \<<<{ % We hope that you enjoy % using our software, or that --- if you are not pleased with it --- % it triggers you to give us feedback or to come up with a better % solution. We especially would like to thank Ulrike Fischer (of the % \LaTeX-project and the maintainer of the tagpdf package) for % trying to use this package and reaching out to give us feedback. % One of her suggestions (not to use big hyperlink-areas) was almost % instantly implemented and has been adopted as the standard way of % linking. % } % % \<<<{ % You are free to use our software but kindly ask you to provide a % mention ``The audio materials of this text have been prepared with % \spelatex{}'' in the section treating copyrights, % bibliographic data or any other spot of your text that is % suited. We'd also welcome a short mail of yours telling that you % make use of the package. The pleasure of receiving such an e-mail % makes our day. % } % % \<<<{ % You are free to modify this \LaTeX-package, keeping a reference to % our original package intact, provided that your package is subject % to the LPPL license, as is \spelatex{}. However, contributing to our % package or to the \LaTeX{} project in general, might be a better % way to go, in order to bundle the efforts % for a better speech-enabled \LaTeX{}. % } % % \section{Introduction} % % \subsection{Target audience} % \<<<{ % \spelatex{} is primarily intended for persons with a reading % disorder. This may be: % } % \begin{itemize} % \spelitem{persons suffering dyslexia} % \spelitem{visually impaired persons} % \begin{itemize} % \spelitem{persons who still can recognize the basic % parts of a book, % i.e. are able to operate a PDF viewer and click on the % individual parts.} % \spelitem{persons who can't recognize the basic parts of a book % (e.g., blind persons): they can listen to the automatic % playback of the ordered chain of audio fragments.} % \end{itemize} % \end{itemize} % % \<<<{ % But also people who want to multitask, e.g., gardening while % listening to a technical book, can benefit from % \spelatex{}.\footnote{Note that multitasking is not reserved for persons % without visual impairment. Also visually impaired persons can % benefit from listening to an audiobook while doing other % things.}\\ We often use \spelatex{} to proofread the texts we've % written ourselves as we hear language errors more easily than we % spot them while reading. % } % % \subsection{The magic under the hood} % % \subsubsection{The overall picture} % % \<<<{ % \spelatex{} equips the PDF that is generated by \LaTeX{} % with hyperlinks to audio files that contain the spoken % equivalent of the original text, equations, figures and tables. % } % \spelmacpp{figref}[1]{Fig.~\ref{#1}} % \newcommand\figref[1]{Fig.~\ref{#1}} % \begin{spelchunk} % Let's start by considering the flow depicted in % Fig.~\ref{fig:setup} at the top of the diagram. \figref{fig:setup} % By loading the |spel.sty| package in your source % document (|text.tex|), \LaTeX{} will produce a PDF file that references audio % files that will be generated later (see below). In % addition, it generates text chunks (i.e. small portions of % your text) in separate files (|.tex|) and a spel index file % (|.spelidx|) referencing them in sequence. % \end{spelchunk} % % \<<<{ % Together with the |.aux|-file (needed by \spelatex{} for labels and % citations), these are the inputs to the \spelatex-engine (|spel-wizard.pl|) % that parses the text chunks, writes a full text version of them as % spel files (with extension |.spel|) and % controls the text-to-speech engine to generate audio versions of % them.\footnote{In the figure, Ogg Vorbis has been chosen as % format, but this can be any audio format.} % } % % \<<<{ % To avoid excessive text to speech conversion (i.e. an expensive step) % the \spelatex{} engine derives an MD5 fingerprint of them and compares it % to previously generated fingerprints for the chunk.

However, overriding environments in \LaTeX{} is a tricky % business. In view of this, the \spelatex{} package keeps away from % this, and we've chosen to treat displaymath environments (like % |equation|, |eqnarray|, |gather|, |align|, |alignat|) the same way % as tables or figures, i.e. you need to embed the in a |spelchunk| % environment. The only difference between math environments and % figures an tables is that displaymath environments can be % automatically read out loud by the \spelpl{} script, while you % will have to provide a text description for tables and figures % manually, using a subsequence |spelchunkad| % environment (the suffix ad stands for \emph{audio description}). % } % % \<<<{ % To keep the terminology clear, we label them as automatic % and manual explicit spelchunks respectively: % } % \begin{itemize} % \spelitem{automatic: \texttt{equation}, \texttt{eqnarray}, % \texttt{gather}, \texttt{align}, \texttt{alignat}, \ldots} % \spelitem{manual: \texttt{figure}, \texttt{table}, % \texttt{tikzpicture}, \ldots} % \end{itemize} % % \<<<{ % The similarity between both categories is that you both embed them % in a |spelchunk| environment, but that you provide the manual % textual description using a |spelchunkad| environment right after % the chunk for the manual ones: in this way, the |spelchunkad| environment provides an % alternative text for the chunk. Note that this way of working also % enables you to provide an overriding text for an automatic spelchunk, % e.g., an equation, if you % think that \spelpl{} is doing a bad job. You do us a favor if % you submit this subpar behavior as a bug report to us! % } % % \<<<{ % It is worthwile to make good descriptions for a figure or a % table. It's here that you can create true added value to your % manuscript, even for readers without impairment! % } % % \subsubsection{Paragraphs} % \<<<{ % However, there is the elephant in the room that we did not yet % talk about, the paragraph. Indeed, it is desirable to split plain % text according to the paragraphs in the document. Alas, paragraphs % are one of the silent features that are % not easily accessible from within a \LaTeX-package. % Therefore paragraphs (or smaller text chunks) are considered to be % explicit spelchunks and need to be embedded % in |spelchunk| environments.
