Accessible examination content converter
A document-processing system that converts examination material into structured accessible text, navigable HTML, and reviewable audio output.
Project definition
Problem statement
Examination material may contain scanned pages, columns, tables, mathematical notation, diagrams, instructions, and marks. Simple text extraction can lose reading order and structure, making the result difficult to navigate with assistive technology.
The engineering problem is to detect document structure, preserve question numbering and mathematical content, generate accessible output formats, and provide a review stage for elements that cannot be converted reliably.
Project objectives
- Extract text and page structure from digital and scanned examination documents.
- Preserve reading order, sections, question numbers, marks, lists, tables, and mathematical notation.
- Generate accessible structured text, HTML, and audio-ready output.
- Flag uncertain OCR, diagrams, and complex layout for manual review.
- Measure extraction accuracy, structure preservation, accessibility checks, and review effort.
System design
System modules
Document ingestion
Accepts supported document types, separates pages, records document metadata, and identifies digital or scanned content.
OCR and layout analysis
Extracts text, identifies regions, estimates reading order, and records confidence for each detected element.
Structure parser
Identifies headings, instructions, sections, questions, subquestions, marks, tables, and mathematical regions.
Accessible conversion
Builds semantic text and HTML output, converts supported mathematics, and prepares structured content for speech.
Review interface
Shows source and converted content together and allows correction of order, text, labels, equations, and descriptions.
Validation subsystem
Runs structural, accessibility, OCR, navigation, and output consistency checks against prepared documents.
Methodology
System workflow
- 01Input examination document
The system validates the file, separates pages, and identifies whether OCR is required.
- 02Extract content and layout
Text, regions, coordinates, confidence values, and page images are produced.
- 03Build semantic structure
The parser reconstructs instructions, question hierarchy, marks, tables, and supported mathematical content.
- 04Review uncertain elements
Low-confidence text, diagrams, complex tables, and equations are presented for correction.
- 05Export and validate
The corrected document is exported to supported formats and checked for navigation, structure, and content consistency.
Demonstration scenario
A scanned examination paper containing instructions, numbered questions, a table, and mathematical notation is processed. The system reconstructs its hierarchy, flags one equation and a diagram for review, accepts corrections, and exports navigable HTML, structured text, and audio-ready content.
Engineering
Technical architecture
- Web application
- Nuxt and Vue for document submission, side-by-side review, correction, preview, and export.
- Processing API
- FastAPI for file handling, conversion jobs, review state, validation results, and generated output.
- Document pipeline
- Python-based page rendering, OCR, layout-region detection, reading-order analysis, and semantic reconstruction.
- Accessible formats
- Semantic HTML, structured text, MathML where supported, and SSML-based preparation for audio generation.
- Quality controls
- Confidence thresholds, manual review queues, structural validation, and comparison with prepared reference transcripts.
- Delivery
- Container-based setup with sample examination documents, expected outputs, and repeatable conversion tests.
Testing
Evaluation
Evaluation measures
- Character and word accuracy for digital and scanned input
- Reading-order and question-hierarchy accuracy
- Preservation of marks, tables, and supported mathematical notation
- Automated accessibility and document-structure check results
- Audio sequence consistency with the reviewed structured text
- Manual correction time across the prepared document set
System boundaries
- The system converts examination content and does not generate answers or solve questions.
- Complex diagrams and uncertain mathematical notation require human review.
- The prototype does not replace formal accommodation review by the responsible institution.
- Copyright-protected examination material is used only with permission or replaced by prepared samples.
