[Blindmath] Beta support for Math Available to NVDA Users

[Bhavya shah]

In joint collaboration with Design Science and the Educational Testing
Service, NV Access has been adding support for reading mathematics in
the NVDA screen reader. Making use of Design Science's MathPlayer 4
beta, NVDA will be able to provide rich access to mathematical content
in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. And with the addition
of Design Science's existing MathType product, access to mathematical
content in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Powerpoint will be also soon a
reality.
Although not yet in an official release of NVDA, you can try out this
support in a special math build of NVDA. This support also requires
MathPlayer 4 beta to be installed, optionally along with MathType (for
access to math in Microsoft Word and Powerpoint). Both of these can be
downloaded from the Design Science website. You can read Design
Science's news announcement as well.
This new support allows the NVDA user to read mathematical content in
a meaningful way via speech, and also in Nemeth Braille via a Braille
display. There is a new math navigation mode added to NVDA which
allows you to navigate within the mathematical content, moving through
the content in a logical fashion, with the ability to zoom in and out
of fractions, parentheses and other logical groups. When positioned on
math content, this mode can be activated by pressing NVDA+alt+m. If
you find any bugs with this new support, please provide comments on
Trac ticket #4673.
