This diagram shows our idea for doing server-side conversion of MathML to described SVG or PNG images that are backwards compatible with older EPUB 2 reading systems, browsers that don't support MathML and creates a bridge for support with future assistive technologies.

2. MathMLCloud
Process
1. A
publisher
or
other
content
creator
using
a
MathMLCloud
integrated
product,
such
as
a
MicrosoO
Word
plugin,
or
a
proprietary
producFon
toolchain,
submits
MathML
code
to
the
MathMLCloud
API
2. The
MathML
is
converted
to
an
SVG
image
using
MathJax.
There
is
an
opFon
to
convert
the
SVG
to
a
PNG
image.
The
MathML
is
also
processed
by
the
integrated
ChromeVox
math
uFliFes
to
generate
a
textual
descripFon.
The
API
returns
HTML/SVG
code
and
the
PNG
image.
The
HTML
code
contains
a
link
back
to
the
source
MathML
on
MathMLCloud.net

3. MathMLCloud
Process
3. The
returned
HTML
code
and
images
can
be
inserted
into
a
web
page
viewed
with
MicrosoO
IE
or
an
EPUB
viewed
with
the
Nook
eReader
4. The
end
user
can
also
choose
to
click
to
a
webpage
on
MathMLCloud.net
to
see
the
original
MathML
or
to
provide
feedback
to
the
publisher
and
Benetech
as
to
the
quality
of
the
automaFcally
generated
descripFon.
By
being
able
to
access
the
source
MathML
the
user
can
take
advantage
of
other
current
or
future
AssisFve
Technologies
that
support
MathML.
