While not specifically designed with accessibility in mind, Mathpix is a great tool when it comes to authoring accessible scientific documents, digitizing them or improving their accessibility; in particular, its OCR features have been specifically crafted to recognize Math formulas accurately.

The service can be purchased with a monthly or yearly subscription; however, generous free tiers that increase a lot for students) are also available.
