MathJax is an open source JavaScript display engine for mathematics that works in all modern browsers. No more setup for readers. No more browser plugins. No more font installations… It just works. Accept following sources: LaTeX MathML http://www.mathjax.org/ Unfortunately, there's not an MathJax accessibility API, which web browsers can use, which will allow assistive technologies, such as screen readers to work with beautiful math in all browsers. As far as I'm aware, there's no MathJax accessibility in Windows IE9/8, Chrome 15-17, Firefox 4-10; Mac OS X Safari, Webkit, Lightning, and/or Chrome; iOS 5 Safari; Android Mobile Acccessibility Web browser or Ideal Web Reader. MathJax has the potential to make math/STEM accessibility truly universal and not speicific to MathML and IE8, MathPlayer, and JAWS 12. It has the potential to completely revolutionize math/STEM accessibility for all, but I would like to know what's the best approach in MathJax including universal access/design, and it working for all? Perhaps, it should be a community effort, where we all contact MathJax, create a petition, or some other campaign effort? Thanks, Kevin
