Dear Pablo and others on the discussion about this specific topic. My personal experience on reading math/scientific formula/equations/expressions has been very bad in any format, may it be word, pdf or any other. It is true that tables are read correctly, but while reading formulae, etc, it makes no sense. So far as symbols are concerned, Jaws16 and 17 have come up with improvements, and now symbols are correctly pronounced by Jaws, no matter whether those symbols are written independently or used in combination in any equation. But the real problem arises when equations are written using equation editor or any other programme (even math ML), they are not read correctly. Very often, research papers and standard books on mathematics/statistics/econometrics use standard programmes for writing equations/expressions/formulae which are difficult to read using Jaws. Thanks and regards! Vikas Dixit
