[BlindMath] JAWS reading formulas in MathType

[Noble,Stephen L.]

I have had discussions with the JAWS developers, and I know they were planning to get this functionality into JAWS in an upcoming release. Apparently it hasn't happened yet, but I'll touch base with them to see if they have a timetable for when it might become available. For the time being, the student will need to use NVDA (which is dependent upon having both MathType and MathPlayer installed on the student's PC), or you'll have to use MathType's "MathPage" export feature to produce an HTML+MathJax web page, which JAWS should be able to read.

Subject: [BlindMath] JAWS reading formulas in MathType

Help me out! We have been formatting documents for a student using MathType (Pre-Calc and Astronomy). We have found out that the equations are not reading in JAWS. The solution the student has been given by her TVI is to double-click the formula (JAWS says it is a graphic), select the convert option and convert it to Word. This solves the issue sometimes and other times doesn't read the formula correctly, either.


HELP! I am having no issue wit the formulas reading in NVDA but student is using JAWS.
