Hi:
What is it about screen readers where they have so much trouble reading
advanced math and, or, science characters?
For example, what about the Calcus symbols or the standard ones often used in
describing the EM Field variables?
Has anyone ever done anything trying to write a script for say either a book
reader or even internet pages to make the equations read well?
I have been looking at many sites lately related to quantum mechanics and light
and found many, all?, sites using equations where either I get a line of
characters that dont make sense to me or a blank space where a given symbol,
image?, is located within the equations.
I know there are third party packages that might, repeat might, work perhaps
with braille but why cant a screen reader like WindowEyes with it's attendant
dictionaries be used to read these pages or books?
I am wondering if the pages or software could be scripted in some way to make
advanced math and science equations readable with WindowEyes.
Just a consideration at this point and not even a thought of being a scripting
project but just the question of why it hasent been done by the screen reader
companies and if anyone has ever tried to script something to enable it for
WindowEyes in the past.
