[Athen] MathML and Voiceover for Mac

[Joseph Polizzotto]

I just tested a math document with MathJax using Safari + VoiceOver and did
not  encounter problems with varying levels of math. 

 

Have you tried using MathJax with your document? 

 

HTH,

 

Joseph

The short answer is no.

The longer answer is that Voice Over and Safari has had MathML support in
the past but there have been bugs in their implementation and I don't know
the current state of things.

The student could install Windows on Boot Camp and use NVDA + Firefox.

Greetings,

 

I have a Blind student who is wedded to VoiceOver on his Mac. He now is
taking a Chemistry course and my research tells me that MathML is not very
compatible with VoiceOver. I'm concerned with how to make the math
accessible to him when he is very set on sticking with his Mac. Does anyone
have any experience with VoiceOver reading math? Might it be able to read
MathML adequately through Firefox?

 

Thanks,
