[Blindmath] Some examples of mathematics speech text

[J.Fine]

Hi

Here are some examples of mathematics speech text.  There aren't many but its already enough to learn from. I welcome comments and further examples, particularly if you regularly use a screen reader.

Examples:

Sum of two fractions: fraction 2 over 3 end fraction minus fraction 1 over 6 end fraction

Number to negative fractional power: 125 sup minus fraction 1 over 3 end fraction end sup

Numerator of quadratic formula. minus b plus or minus square root of b squared minus 4 a c end root

Gravitational attration. cap G fraction m sub 1 m sub 2 over r squared end fraction

Concentration of a solution: 10 sup -3 end sup micro grammes per millilitre


Comment:

Already I want to say "m sub 1 m sub 2" but this is not consistent for example with "x sub i minus 1 end sub".  Nemeth's MathSpeak does not have this problem.

My specification is open source and is available at these URLs (which might not be accessible)
