[BlindMath] Math Not Accessible In Gemini

[Saman Aghajani]

Hello,
  have you used the "Export to Docs" feature?  Usually under each response
there are a few buttons to copy the text, or to mark the answer as "good"
or "bad".  But there is also a "More Options" button, which when pressed,
allows one to select an option from a dropdown list.  There you should find
the export feature.
For example, I asked it to describe to me the Tailor Polynom and to render
it as LateX und here is what I got:

Best Regards
Saman
