Hi Cath,

Were you going from Scientific Notebook to a Web page with MathML content?

In order to get AT to work with math content, you need to be running 
Internet Explorer 6 or above AND have MathPlayer installed.

Hmmm - I did not find that JAWS 10.x was reading the equation correctly 
with Firefox 3.  While JAWS did read parts of the equation - mainly the 
text - it missed super/sub script values as well as Greek symbols (I 
think it kept reporting one as "question mark").

Based on what I have seen so far, the only support for AT appears to be 
with IE and MathPlayer on Web pages.  While other browsers support the 
rendering of the equation, there is little to no support for 
communicating the actual math information.  If anyone has other 
experiences, please let me know!

Take care,
Sean
