Hi Sukriti,
To my knowledge, not really. There are some websites that will accept
Nemeth input (Desmos, Nemeth tutorial sites... that's about it), and that
can be done on Mac or on Windows. Entering Nemeth on those sites is not
very flexible, and it can be a challenge to convert the Nemeth entry back
into print (if that is even an option). With JAWS, the Nemeth entry is
immediately converted into print, and braille readers can read the proper
Nemeth notation on their braille display when reviewing the print notation
within the Word document.

I don't know of any Mac apps that support Nemeth entry. VoiceOver can read
MathML content effectively, but I've encountered some gaps. Similarly,
VoiceOver's translation of MathML content into Nemeth (via VoiceOver) is
not as reliable as the translation provided by JAWS.
