[Blindmath] Copying MathPlayer output

[Neil Soiffer]

Greg,

This is not directly supported, but you can turn on debugging information
and get the speech out of a file that MathPlayer produces. You would need
to filter out some of the prosody info it produces though if you only want
the words.

To do this, go to MathPlayer's install dir which is likely either
C:\Program Files (x86)\Design Science\MathPlayer
or
C:\Program Files\Design Science\MathPlayer

Assuming you are using English, go to Rules/en and choose either
simple-speech-en.tdl or ClearSpeak-en.tdl and in a text editor, remove the
"//" (comments) in front of
      log_show_speech_trees=true;
Save the file and after speaking an expression, open
%temp%\speech-trees.txt. At the very end of that is the speech sent to
NVDA. If you are using IE, the file might be %temp%\low\speech-trees.txt

Having said that, I'm curious why you want that speech. My guess is that
there is some problem you are trying to solve that this is just a part of.
Perhaps there is a bigger picture item that really needs to be addressed in
MathPlayer or the screen reader?
