If you are trying to scan Math equations then most likely the it will
not be scanned correctly. On the other hand, if you are writing and
trying to solve Math problems with the help of Jaws, you can try
pressing Jaws Key+4. You will find several math related symbles in
this list. I'm took Physics this quarter, and I've solved all of the
math related problems on MS Word using Jaws. So far only problem I
have had is that Jaws doesnt read the Square root symble correctly
"√".

Hope this helps,
