Folks,
JAWS 18 works very well with math. Remember to set your Braille output to
contracted UEB Braille so that you can see math on your Braille display.

Hi there,
Which screen reader did you use? The display of math depends on that rather
than the Braille display used I'm pretty sure. NVDA and Math Type is the
only successful combination for math to work.

I tried it with Freedom Scientific's Focus 40 but the Math Equations
appeared as text (five plus four) and not with the relevant Braille
symbols.Also, can the Word files with MathType equations be accessed with
Focus 40 or any other Braille displays?RebeccaFrom: Shannon Pruitt
