Hi!
I just wanted to quickly chime in about MathJax and screen reader
compatibility.

To my knowledge, MathJax does not require MathPlayer to make math content
accessible to a screen reader, BUT NVDA does require MathPlayer or MathCAT.
Basically, NVDA is not able to read math on its own, which is why you need
an add-on like MathCAT (which is quite good). JAWS will read MathJax output
without MathCAT/MathPlayer. VoiceOver will also read MathJax output, but
not as well as JAWS or NVDA w/ MathCAT, at least in my experience.
