| Abstract(in English) | The awareness of Web Accessibility is widly spreading to society, but then a lot of contents are provided as PDF files on the Web. In many provided PDF files, information of characters is not embedded in the proper reading order. Furthermore, information of mathematical formulae is rarely imbeded in an accessible way. Therefore, it is very difficult to read the scientific PDF documents correctly for visually impaired people. In this report, we present a prototype of a system which can provide high-quality and accessible document information of a scientific PDF documents, especially containing mathematical formulae or tables, by combining extracted character information from the PDF documents and recognition results by recognizing their printed images. |
