[BlindMath] JAWS reading formulas in MathType

[Robin Williams]

It's utterly ridiculous that NVDA has accomplished this accessibility while JAWS (complete with its price tag) languishes behind.

Our work around for this is to convert the file to an html file and then JAWS reads the equations.

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.
