Subject: odd JAWS behavior with MathML and MathJax
No previous message | Next message →

Hi,

we have test questions where the answer choices are fractions and the
MathML for the fraction is in the label tag for the radio button. NVDA
reads it as expected. That means that when I arrow to the radio button, the
math is read as the actual math. In JAWS, the fraction for three
sixteenths, as an example, is announced as 3 16 when I arrow to the radio
button and the text output is also 3 16. but when I arrow to the label
itself, it's properly announced as three sixteenths, but the text output is
just the letter X. I have the default JAWS settings and have tried various
settings in MathJax. Can anyone offer some insight?

Thanks,

Mike,

I can't help but please report back if you find something that corrects
this behavior, I'm very interested!

Hi Mike,

Please report a bug at the following repo. JAWS direct support for math is
relatively recent, and the developers should appreciate an example to help
them improve.
