[BlindMath] NVDA with MathCAT not reading math

[Mosley, Leigh]

Hi Ryan,

He is running NVDA 2025.3.3 and MathCAT 0.7.5, both of which he has uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times.

Thanks!
Leigh

Hi Leigh,

What NVDA version is he using, and what version of MathCAT is he using? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? I'm happy to help troubleshoot.

Best,
Ryan

Hello all!

One of my students has been unable to get his NVDA to read MathML/MathJax properly. His NVDA is updated, his MathCAT is updated, and all his NVDA and MathCAT settings look identical to those on my laptop (Clearspeak speech style and medium verbosity), but when his NVDA encounters MathML/MathJax, it just says "clickable" and moves past the equation.  Can anyone think of anything obvious I have forgotten? I installed my own NVDA/MathCAT so long ago that maybe there is something in the setup I have forgotten about.  He has tried Chrome and Firefox (and rebooted his computer about a hundred times...), but still no luck.

Thanks so much!

Leigh
