Hi All,
I have been able to use Windows screen readers to successfully
read the graphics. Unfortunately, the Windows screen readers won't
read all the math symbols correctly, but VO will.
I will try the different browsers once I get access to a Mac
again. Unfortunately, the assignment requires log on info, so it would
be difficult for me to provide a test assignment.
Thanks,
Aleeha
