The best was NVDA with the MathCAT add-in. Jaws had serious issues, and the folks at Jaws know about it. It seems they will be moving to MathCAT as well, but we do not know when.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>So for now, Just use Jaws in the math reading mode.
