[Athen] Reader for ePub3 files with math

[Susan Kelmer]

As far as we can tell, it is a CAR problem.  The mathML files we are making work perfectly with a screenreader.

Susan,

Is the bug with MS Word or with MathType? Is it a problem between the pre-Wiris buy out of Design Science and the newest release of MathType (vs the previous standalone or download version)?

Very curious since I'm putting together the modules for math accessibility for my grad class at CUNY and want to be able to provide the most accurate, up-to-date info.

CAR is no longer effective on word files with mathtype, so we aren’t even going there.

EquatIO is not a full reader, only a screenshot reader for equations.  This does not give a smooth reading experience for the student.

EquatIO or CAR? I'm thinking out loud, the epub format stymies me a bit. Any mechanism for conversion?

I need to know what reader(s) to recommend for a sighted student needing to hear text and math in an ePub3 file. I’m told it can be done.  But so far, I’m not coming up with anything that will read the math that is not a screenreader.
