Hi, I recently read in a report on accessibility of mathematics and science that screen readers can't tell the difference between sub and sup in HTML, so a<sup>n</sup> and a<sub>n</sub> are both rendered the same on a Braille display, namely as "an". I would like to collect some more data on the support of sub and sup by screen readers and talking browsers and I have put together a small test page for this purpose: <http://tinyurl.com/2qll7h>. The page contains five examples of superscript and subscript and a few combinations of these. With Fire Vox, the code samples given above are read as an emphatic "an". The output for the other expressions is also misleading. I would appreciate it if users of screen readers and talking browsers could tell me what their systems output for each of the five examples. I will then add the test results to the test page.
