[Athen] MathML and Voiceover for Mac

[Bossley, Peter A.]

Good to know that it works with MathJax.
Currently I believe there is not braile support on OSX for MathML content. In the big 10 we have a potential project to fund addition of Braille support to MathJax that we are hoping to push forward but it is in the early stages as this point.

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,
