Writing and Reading Mathematics with VO

2014-08-04 Thread Ibraheem Fakir
Dear List, Hope you're all well. Does anybody have work arounds for writing math and reading it back with VO? Is there a font that's accessible to VO? I'm creating math worksheets for students to complete for homework, but not sure how to write it in an accessible manner. In my days of studying

Hi, Some of the math functionality is built right into the MacOS. for example: • Option > becomes ≥. • Option < becomes ≤. • Option = becomes ≠. • Option v becomes √. • Option p becomes π. There are numerous others and you can learn them easily by opening a blank TextEdit document, holding dow

In the special characters box, you can find additional math symbols, such as trig functions, calculus symbols and so on. Kevin On 2014-08-04, at 10:11 AM, Ibraheem Fakir wrote: > Dear List, > > Hope you're all well. Does anybody have work arounds for writing math and > reading it back with VO

Hi, I hope that my response read out alright to you. Depending on your settings for punctuation, some things may not have been read properly. Sorry, for not making that clear in my initial response. These special characters do fine for basic math equations, some algebra and such but when you

Hi Tim, As said before, you can use the Special Characters under Edit to generate more complex math symbols. You may have to read these by navigating with your arrow keys. Examples: ⋿ (read as Z notation bad membership) ⋜ 3 (read as equal to or less than 3) ℇ (read as Euler constant) Kevin On

I think it worth mentioning that Voiceover works with mathML. There are sample equations at http://www.mathjax.org/demos/mathml-samples/. Be sure that math ml is selected in the pop up. For anyone familiar with latex, there are tools to generate html documents containing mathML from latex sour

Nice. Last I played with this was on OSX 10.8 and it failed horribly. That seems to have been fixed in 10.9 at some point. Yay kaizen. CB On 8/5/14, 12:25 AM, Barry Hadder wrote: I think it worth mentioning that Voiceover works with mathML. There are sample equations at http://www.mathjax.or

Yes, it seems to work on IOS as well. When I initially chose MathML as the rendering mode, I got a warning that my browser didn’t fully support MathML and that some equations might not render properly. However, not only does Voiceover read the equations correctly, there are five items added to
