[BlindMath] JAWS and MathML

[White, Jason J]

I think you need to move the virtual cursor onto the MathML content before pressing enter. I've used this (although not recently), and it has worked reliably. However, use of the escape key to exit the mathematics navigation mode sometimes places focus in the wrong window (i.e., not back in the browser where the document is).

Subject: [BlindMath] JAWS and MathML

Hi,
I was reading math content with JAWS and tried going into Math Viewer by pressing enter, but it did not seem to work. I have JAWS 18 and tried it with Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer 11. After pressing enter, it would repeat the title of the webpage, and then moving the arrows would do nothing. Pressing numpad plus told me that the PC cursor was active, and I have to turn virtual cursor back on in order to use the arrow keys again. I even restored JAWS back to original settings in case that was the issue. I used the JAWS MathML examples page at
https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsupport.freedomscientific.com%2Fcontent%2Fhtml%2Fjawshq%2FMathML-Samples.html&data=02%7C01%7Cjjwhite%40ets.org%7C36af40190cff40e3863408d6c41ac76e%7C0ba6e9b760b34fae92f37e6ddd9e9b65%7C0%7C0%7C636912016639787550&sdata=KuTW0AwTv%2BnfGwCzkbJadzkYUMLhb93li4tZtknrDjQ%3D&reserved=0
I also tried installing a demo of JAWS 2019 and still did not have any success. Is there something I am missing, or does anyone have any ideas as to why it may not be working? This is in Windows 10. Thanks.
Greg
