<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Howard, the MS equation editor
and its big brother MathType are not <br>
accessible. There are two straightforward ways to access the math
<br>
that has been written using either of these however. To access it
<br>
you'll need MathType and can either convert the equations to a Tiger
<br>
environment and emboss as DotsPlus or export as math page with the <br>
MathML option selected in MathType. The resulting XML page can be
<br>
displayed in Internet Explorer with the free MathPlayer plug-in from

For IE 6 you need to change the <br>
XML extension to XHTML to make it display right. Then one can read <br>
the equations as words using any current screen reader.<br><br>
Other export options are coming. Unfortunately MathType itself isn't <br>
likely to get more accessible for some time.<br><br>
Hope this helps.<br>
