How a blind person can read physics?

Screen reader software provides blind people fairly good access to e-mail, web text, and most electronic text documents. Until recently that access did not extend to math and scientific formulas or to figures. It does now. I will give a sneak preview of a collaborative project between ViewPlus and the American Physical Society that provides full access to APS journals, including the math and graphics. The APS has the most advanced publishing technology of any modern publisher (Of course, they are physicists!). This makes it actually relatively easy to make the text and math accessible, but figures are another thing. Most of the talk will focus on ViewPlus' accessible graphics technologies that make this possible.
