[Blindmath] MathType and JAWS

[Birkir R. Gunnarsson]

There is a problem that many users experience with MathPlayer and IE8
initiallly, and it has to do with security of locally viewed webpages.
Intenet Explorer blocks MathPlayer
from working on local webfiles until you change the security for the
local files.
See more about it here:

This ight help you, I remember I had this issue initially.
MathDaisy is useful, but it is fairly expensive (for an individual,
not for an organization necessarily), and it also depends on Daisy
players that understand it, ReadHere from GH does, the EasyReader from
Dolphin does as well, but I think the rest of the players do not.
Cheers
