Comment 2 by jteh on 2014-11-18 22:39 Does anyone know whether any screen reader supports the Word equation editor? |
@michaelDCurran @jcsteh @Qchristensen What priority do you think should be assigned to this ticket? Since the implementation cost seems to be non-trivial, I am leaning towards P3 or P4, although I have little knowledge about the feature's value and impact. |
It'd be good to be able to read native Microsoft Word math using NVDA's math support. (We do support MathType, but that requires a separate product.) However, there are a few challenges/considerations here:
P3 for now, though there will probably be a high implementation cost, so this may get dropped to p4. |

NVDA does not read the symbols inserted by the word 2013 equation editor. The editor uses a font calibry Math as far as I can tell. Moreover, it does not report if alphabits in that equation are sub script or super script. To duplicate the problem, do the following.
Try reading the equation such as that for the area of a circle. No go, the special symbols are not read.
