[Athen] MathPlayer & IE enterprise help needed - STAT!

[Sean Keegan]

Hi Wink,

Is the math content being provided to the student as an alternate format solution or is the content being posted to a website?

If just an alternate format solution, you could use NVDA directly with MS Word as long as MathType is installed. You will need a special build of the NVDA screen-reader, but this may be another option such that you can bypass the conversion to a web page (the download link is on this page):

Take care,
Sean

I have followed their instructions for toggling IE in and out of the Enterprise (legacy) version for voiced math. The documents have been prepared in MATHTYPE, all equations have been converted per Greg Kraus’s instructions to set cut & copy preferences to MML &/or LaTex. Have also included the HTML code in each Math Type document page header for local .htm:  [<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />] allowing the toggle between current IE version and IE8 enterprise version.
