[BlindMath] Copying Math Expressions in HTML

[Ray McAllister]

I use JAWS, and this isn't perfect, but I don't have, yet, any of those fancy math editor programs.  If I hit "enter" on a math expression, I can tour the expression with JAWS, and, I discovered that when in that "math view window" I can hit ctrl-a and ctrl-c, things like that, to copy the expression to the clip board and then ctrl-v somewhere else and paste it.  Now, formatting is lost.  I have to go in afterward and add a / for a fraction sign or a a^ for an exponent sign and put in the extra needed parentheses, but this does work.  

Ray.

Hello Mr. Fine,

I hope you are well.

I was actually able to copy the expression by pressing shift+f10, then opening the submenu called “copy from clipboard.”

After that, I chose “Math ML” from the menu.

The only issue is that I can’t copy more  than1 math expression at a time which can be a little time-consuming.

I’ll check out the resources you sent, as I’m still very interested in this topic.

Thank you,

Dana

Hi Dana

 

MathJax has an issues list, which has 9 NVDA issues, all closed. There's also a discussion group, which has 4 entries for NVDA. Here are the URLs for both.

 

https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax/issues?q=nvda

https://groups.google.com/g/mathjax-users/search?q=NVDA

 

By chance, a few days ago I got a report from a TSVI in the UK of what might be the same problem. And a report from an expert.

 

Here's an extract from the report: You shouldn't be using MathJax 2.7.2 as there appears to be a problem with triggering the Walker, certainly when using a modern version of Chrome, and possibly other aspects of the accessibility extensions.

 

I'll contact the TSVI and the expert later today, and ask if they can help.

 

I hope this helps at least a little.

 

with kind regards

 

Jonathan
