I tested this out briefly last week. I had similar results to what others
here have reported. I tested on Windows 10 with JAWS 2023.

- OCR was surprisingly good
- Math content in the HTML output couldn't be read by the screen reader
- Word documents worked best. JAWS read all the math really well and
provided a good Nemeth transcription on the braille display
- I opened the Word file in Duxbury to see how well Duxbury translated
the document. The math was an absolute mess.

Overall, good for converting documents on the fly and reading with a screen
reader. Currently doesn't look great for a braille production workflow.
