Hello Ayelet,

Check out Central Access Toolbar (Free): https://www.cwu.edu/central-access/toolbar
Requires general OCR software (Omnipage/ABBYY)
Requires INFTY Reader for Math OCR ($180 yr): http://www.inftyreader.org/?p)
And you'll need to install MathPlayer for it to read aloud on PC's (Not needed on Mac): https://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/

Webinar for the tool (Occurring on April 20th @ 10AM EST): https://docs.google.com/a/ucdavis.edu/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuB2I5M_ePUjO1mPwsVbBKAwYQgxuSaIm_cT0C45e3wa71QA/viewform

There's also Scientific Notebook for creating Math Problems: https://www.mackichan.com/index.html?products/snb.html~mainFrame
Or you can use an online service such as wiris.com: http://www.wiris.com/editor/demo/en/mathml-latex

Here is a list of screenreaders, and the needed plugins, which will read math aloud: http://msf.mathmlcloud.org/

Best,

Joshua Hori
