The guys at Design Science have an MSAA output for their Word plug in that, while not terribly efficiently, does read things reasonably well with JAWS. I may be wrong, they may only support math in web browsers through JAWS. You should check either way.

Here's some information about it: ________________________ > Blindmath mailing list > Blindmath@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.nfbnet.org I'm looking forward to any answers to this, too.

I've already read Robert Stevens work, but is there any other papers/dissertations/etc folks would recommend reading on the topic before I dive in?
