[Athen] math speak for MAC

[Wink Harner]

I have had difficulty convincing the student that his emotional attachment
to his MAC (which will not, as he claims, work math with Voice Over)
should be abandoned in favor of actual access to the material.
Stubbornness be dam*ed!

Hey, Wink.  We are using MathType for input, creating HTML with MathML
content (MathPage), then having students use Internet Explorer (sorry, on
PC) with MathPlayer enabled along with JAWS to listen to full math.  Has
worked really well for several of our blind students, but I haven't yet
found anything quite as full-featured for Mac.

Hi all Athenites,

 

Any of you out there able to use Math Type for input method and Math Speak
for output for a student who is blind? Is there a version of math speak
for MACs? Voice Over for the MAC does OK with words, not so much with math
& symbols. Student is enrolled in MAT 120 - Intermediate Algebra.

 

Thanks for any directions (you can point me in one!) or suggestions.

 

Blessings,

 

Wink
