Hi all,

For anybody who has jaws installed, and uses Internet Explorer, and who has Mathplayer working: could you please email me?

I felt it on topic for this list, as Mathplayer from Design Science is the only possible way to seamlessly get access to MathML
inside the browser, with a screen reader, and yet, it appears that Jaws has stopped supporting this essential way to consume
mathematics online.

If it's working or not working for you, or if you're willing to have me tell you how to install math player, so you can help test
it: that would be fantastic.

Oh, if it's a problem on Design Science's end, I know we can most likely get it resolved. After all, they care so much about math
accessibility to actually have a person on this very list, but more importantly, it doesn't seem to be them. MSAA inspection tools
are reporting that, in fact, they are outputting the correct information, so it's probably on Freedom Scientific's end. If we can
get more folks interested and talking about this issue with Freedom Scientific at their support email address, which is
support at freedomscientific.com, it will go a long way for getting back some basic access to the mathematics out there on the web.

Feel free to contact me with non-math related stuff off list at sbahram at nc.rr.com

Take care,
Sina
