<p class="MsoNormal">Aloha, all. I’m looking for a solution to a recently-discovered problem with MathPlayer and MathType content. We currently produce MathPage (HTML/MathML) documents as a math textbook alternative for students who use screen-readers and
don’t read Braille and are audio learners. It has worked great up until last week, when a student contacted me with the following issue: his primary computer is a Mac with Voiceover. We know he can’t access the materials in the MacOS so he said no problem,
he would use his old Windows machine and JAWS. Turns out his Windows computer is running Windows XP, which only supports up to Internet Explorer 8. When he launches IE8, he gets a Microsoft message that he needs to upgrade or switch to Firefox or Chrome
– it apparently won’t let him move forward and use the browser even to read our documents off-line. XP won’t let him upgrade IE, and MathPlayer won’t run in any other browser. I can’t ask the student to go buy a new Windows machine, needless to say. Can
anyone recommend an alternative player of any kind that can handle MathType output? The student is falling behind and I want to find a solution that doesn’t involve me setting the student up with a human reader for his materials access, although he is actually
open to that solution. <o:p></o:p></p>
