[Blindmath] math reader for mac os

[Jordyn Castor]

Thank you for this, Kevin. I never knew this was a feature of Chrome. :) I have been looking for a way to interpret math on the Mac for awhile.
I really wish something like Math player was implemented in Safari. Does anyone know if something like this is in the works somewhere?
Thanks again,
Jordyn
