MathReady turns math and science PDFs into web pages that screen readers can actually read.

Most STEM course materials get shared as PDFs, and for blind or low-vision students that’s a dead end. A screen reader either skips the equations or reads them as random symbols, and diagrams just come out as “image.” On top of that, public universities now have until April 2027 to make all their course materials accessible under the ADA, and the tools schools use right now can flag the problem but can’t fix the math.

With MathReady, an instructor uploads a PDF of lecture notes or a problem set, typed or handwritten, and gets back one accessible HTML file. Equations are read out loud in plain English, so a screen reader goes straight through the page without getting stuck, and students can open any equation to go through it term by term. Diagrams get split into their parts, so a student can tab through something like a free-body diagram one arrow at a time while each part gets highlighted. Before anything is exported, the instructor goes through a review screen where anything the model wasn’t sure about is flagged, so nothing gets published without a person checking it.
