[BlindMath] Screen reader extension for viewing math content in LaTeX and AsciiMath notations as MathML

[Nikita]

Hello everybody!

nvMathViewer has been released. It is a free extension for screen readers
that can be used to view mathematical content in LaTeX and AsciiMath
notations as MathML.

These notations are widely used to write mathematical symbols and formulas
in computer systems. However, understanding LaTeX and AsciiMath requires
special knowledge and skills that the average user may not have, such as a
simple schoolboy or a humanitarian student. In addition, reading these
notations directly may not be convenient enough, because it does not provide
additional opportunities for analyzing the structure of formulas.

nvMathViewer solves these problems and enables blind users to quickly view
any LaTeX or AsciiMath notations using special functions of screen readers
for non-visual reading mathematical content and structural navigation
through it.

The extension is supplied for two of the most popular screen readers such as
NVDA and JAWS.
