Technical Overview

• In order to determine which commands are most common, we analyzed thousands of documents with the Top LaTeX Commands module
• LaTeX is parsed by the TexParser module
• Math mode content is made ready for text-to-speech by the MathModeToSSML module
• The configuration system allows the user to configure how certain aspects of the documents are spoken. Developers can also set defaults.
• To ensure audio is comprehensible, we mark up text with SSML before text-to-speech generation.
• Once LaTeX has been converted to human-readable text and marked up with SSML, AWS Polly is used to generate spoken audio.
