<p class=MsoNormal>I had to play with this quite a bit this year- we were
not getting very good results. We were creating the LATex with Scientific
Notebook, then ended putting it into Nemeth despite our student’s
preference, because she was not able to get JAWS to read the MathML we created
this way. The MathML rendered correctly visually but did not read right with
MathPlayer or with Mozilla (Opera still has some major rendering bugs –
errors - evidently).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, I was able to get both Read and Write and JAWS to
read the the MathML at <a href="http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/">http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Using the itex subset of LaTex then using itextomml, you can
get good MathML. The rendering in Mozilla becomes JAWS friendly at that point
(Firefox 3.0). From the above listed page…<o:p></o:p></p>

MathML. To see the equations, you either need Mozilla or a MathML plugin for
IE/Win. You will also need to install some fonts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The posts were authored in itex (an extension of WebTeX)
using the itexToMML Text Filter plugin for MovableType (the README file).
