use MathType's command to covert all the OMML expressions to MathType expression. DBT works well with MathType expressions:

nothing for a screenreader to read.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">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.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<ul>
<li>OCR was surprisingly good</li><li>Math content in the HTML output couldn't be read by the screen reader</li><li>Word documents worked best. JAWS read all the math really well and provided a good Nemeth transcription on the braille display</li><li>I opened the Word file in Duxbury to see how well Duxbury translated the document. The math was an absolute mess. </li></ul>
<div>Overall, good for converting documents on the fly and reading with a screen reader. Currently doesn't look great for a braille production workflow. </div>
