Many scientific papers are inaccessible due to a lack of high quality alt text, and a lack of alt text completely [5]. In addition, most scientific papers are presented in PDF format (for example, on https://arxiv.org/), and PDFs are generally not screen reader friendly. ar5iv(https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/) presents articles from arXiv as HTML, which is generally more accessible for screen reader users.

We propose and implement a prototype plugin for ar5iv that adds alt text to requested papers via crowdwork.
