[Blindmath] MathML and PC with JAWS V. 17

Would you recommend I demo NVDA with Math Player? I just looked up MathJax
webcite, and relized it doesn't allow me to navigate its equasions
chericter-by-chericter. 

Is anyone else out there using IE with MathJax and JAWS?

Beginning with JAWS 16, FS gutted support for MathPlayer and instituted
their own math speech. However, this current (16+) JAWS native math support
works only in IE, and only with HTML documents constructed using MathJax.
So, if you are trying to read HTML+MathML or XHTML+MathML documents with the
current version of JAWS, you are not going to hear the math expressions read
correctly. You'll have to switch to NVDA plus the new MathPlayer to read
those (either with Firefox or IE11 in Enterprise Mode) as JAWS does not
current support those formats...only HTML+MathJax in IE.

Hello,



7+ years ago, my undergrad DSS office helped me set up Math Player on my 
7+ XP
running JAWS V. 14, and IE 8 so they could give me my text materials in
formatted XML files. To this day I can still open the files on my XP running
V. 14 and they still work. I tried downloading the latest version of Math
Player on my Windows 7 PC running JAWS V. 16 and IE 11, and I couldn't get
it to read the equations properly. It would give me some jargon I couldn't
understand like Math type at ... <mailto:Mathtype at ...> . This happened both
when I tried opening old files Cornell had made and when I tried opening
files Mississippi State made-although MSU's files were only Word documents.



The latter PC has since been possessed by Satan, and I'm using a new PC,
Window's 7, JAWS 17, and IE 11. If there are suggestions of someone or an
agency who could help me trouble shoot the issues I'm having, it could make
the remainder of my graduate education much, much more present.





Thank you,



Zac
