[meta] production use cases

[pkra]

Some thoughts on what we need for production use

• responsive equations
  • minimal build of SRE + respEq extension
  • pre-processing abilities
    • generate MathML with mactions + minimal JS for collapsing
    • pre-generate SVG/CommonHTML output to a set of breakpoints with media queries
• a11y tool
  • build minimal version for pre-generated enriched MathML, SVG, CommonHTML

Some ideas towards pre-generating speech output.

• Generate speech markup for expressions.
• Audio pre-rendering via TTS, e.g., festival.
• Ship expression with sound files.
• Could be particularly useful for generation of e-books.

Advantage

• Full independence of screen readers
• No more hassle with live regions
• Synchronisation of speech and highlighting
• Use of prosody possible.
• Integration with earcons, spearcons, auditory icons, etc.

Disadvantage

• Pre-generation and shipping of larger number of sound files
• Compounded by multiple rule sets, maction elements etc.
• UX for screen reader users: voice/prosody differences, etc.
