Here's a little "secret" that I'm planning to blog about once MathPlayer 3.0 comes out (really, really soon): you can make Wikipedia pages use MathJax. That means that if you read the pages via IE+MathPlayer, the math is accessible (mostly -- there are some equations that are not coded correctly, but almost all are). There are several steps that you need to do, and sadly two of them are not accessible so you will need a sighted colleague, but they are all "do it once, work always on that computer". I will detail all the steps in a blog, but the short form is: 1. Create an account on Wikipedia (inaccessible captcha). 2. In preferences, appearances, at the bottom click on "MathJax (experimental; best for most browsers)" 3. Click "save" at the bottom. 4. Go to a Wikipedia page with math on it. Right click on an equation, choose math renderer as MathML. This is inaccessible. 5. You will now hear the math spoken. Based on some feedback, be aware that JAWS seems to wait for MathJax to render all the math, and this might mean a 10 second pause or more before hearing anything on the page. Some people have thought JAWS died. Be patient!
