Thank you, Bill, for the sample. So it doesn’t tag the PDF file, but it does capture the source text of the mathematical expressions.

I can reproduce your findings with NVDA. Which PDF reading tools did you try under Mac OS? It would be worth testing in Preview, Adobe Reader, and possibly the PDF reader in Google Chrome, although I suspect results will be the same (i.e., nothing).

Well, I built and tested the package (see attached document). On my system, MacOS treats the document no differently, and NVDA reads the raw LaTeX source presumably embedded by the package.

I've heard from reliable sources that NVDA supports reading mathematical expressions in PDF documents, but I don't know how they need to be represented in the PDF for NVDA to process them.

Wow! Do any screen readers support this yet?

An interesting package on CTAN

Ross, could you take a look?

Perhaps we should contact the authors and invite them to the
accessibility working group @TUG?
