Hi Birker,


For a while, the Benetech DIAGRAM project was tracking this via a
crowdsource testing effort, and the results are still available in their
Math Support Finder at https://msf.mathmlcloud.org/

Like many crowdsource efforts, there was an initial flurry of folks doing
testing, but after a while it falls off the radar. Nonetheless, it is
probably still the best source for this information. There's also another
effort by the DAISY Consortium to do much the same thing for EPUB reading
systems, but they have only recently added tests for MathML, so not many
systems have such information listed. You can find those tests results at
http://epubtest.org/results


Generally speaking, NVDA works well when the MathPlayer add-on is installed,
and either Firefox or Chrome is used. JAWS is not dependent on MathPlayer,
but the browser coverage may be different. ChromeVox in the ChromeOS with
Chrome and VoiceOver with Safari in the MacOS and iOS are all still working
as far as I know.


Hope that helps,


--Steve Noble

Hi

There has been a discussion about browser/screen reader support for MathML
content over on the WebAIM mailing list.
Can anybody give me the quick answer about MathML support? Which browser/SR
combinations are the best?
Does installing a browser add-on or some suchmake the experience better?
With assessments moving from paper to the web, we need to ensure web-based
math can be encoded in a way that is undersandable to a screen reader user.
Ihave not been keeping up with math for some time now (I ambusy with web and
mobile aps accessibility) but my understanding was that MathML support has
been inadequate/inconsistent, but I definitely hope that impression is
inaccurate. :)Thanks -B
