Math inserted using the JAWS Braille Math Editor.The Microsoft Support website also contains information on inserting mathematical symbols. Check out this article on the TeachUcomp website for instructions on inserting math into Word documents using this method. JAWS does not require any third-party software or plugins be installed in order to read math inserted this way. Math inserted using the options in the Symbols group of the Insert tab in the ribbon.In Microsoft Word, JAWS and Fusion supports reading math equations inserted into documents using one of the following methods: Note: While not directly related to MathML, those involved with Statistical analysis may want to consider checking out FSCast 183 which demonstrates some accessible tools for doing statistics. Check out the MathML Examples page on the Freedom Scientific website to see how JAWS reads math content. Pressing ENTER while focused on the math content opens the Math Viewer where you can explore the expression in greater detail in both speech and braille. Otherwise, if JAWS is set for Computer Braille, the message “Math” is displayed followed by a message stating that Contracted Braille must be enabled to view math content. If the expression is too long to fit on the display, you can use the panning buttons on your display to view the rest of it. When you encounter MathML on a web page, JAWS describes the expression, followed by the message “math content.” If you are using a braille display and JAWS is configured for Contracted Braille, the message “Math” is displayed followed by the expression. Visit the W3 website to learn more about MathML and the tools used to add it to web pages. MathML is a language for including mathematical content on web pages, enabling browsers to present math and science equations and formulas as they would appear on paper. JAWS supports reading math content in Chrome, Edge Chromium, and Firefox that is created using MathML without the need to install any additional third-party software applications or plugins. ![]() Tip: If your student is using a Freedom Scientific Focus Blue braille display, you can press DOTS 1-2-4-5-7-8 CHORD to quickly switch to contracted braille.
