Yes, Math Player and Window-Eyes have both been updated recently, and if you can get the publisher to use the format Math Player requires, I've played around with it a bit and it worked very nicely.
I believe either Office 2010 or 2013 is also incorporating Math Player (or something like it), to allow screen readers the same type of access (but this I'm not as sure of as Math Player on web sites; I've used it). My minor is in applied math, and I have to admit it would be nice to be able to get back into it just a bit, to try and remember something beyond arithmetic!! <grin> Chip -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2014 5:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: WE and Advanced Math and Science Symbols Mathplayer used to work if the publisher used mathtype, but I don't know if that is still true.
