APG gang. I finally got hold of my old Design Science colleague Steve Noble. He and Neil Soiffer (another former colleague) are still working full-time in math accessibility and at least Steve can attend an APG call to answer any questions regarding the math role or authoring practices pattern for accessible web-based math. We can figure out the dates as Matt and James return from well-earned vacations. I am also copying the contents of an email on this subject that Steve sent to the WebAIM mailing list: " NVDA handles MathML very well (either HTML+MathML or HTML+MathJax)...just make sure you have MathPlayer installed (https://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/). You'll probably find the best experience with FireFox. You can use IE11 if you use Enterprise Mode. The latest version of JAWS also now supports math in both IE and Firefox. If you want to use Chrome, then you are stuck using the ChromeVox reader, and it will only work with HTML+MathJax pages. A nice resource for figuring out what works with what is Benetech's Math Support Finder: http://msf.mathmlcloud.org/ It isn't fully populated yet (it is a volunteer effort), but it is growing over time. " These gentlemen should be able to help us understand the current state of math accessibility and come up with the best possible recommendation for an accessible math pattern as part of the 1.1 APG.
