# Is Mathjax accessible for people using screen readers?

I tried writing a formula on Why are some equations and formulas written in a way that suggests the smaller number divides the bigger number, instead of the other way around?, but I cannot find the option to show math as when I use shift F10. All I see is a context menu for my web browser. The dollar signs and formula show up as raw text. However, my screen reader can read Math ML and display it in Nemeth code in Braille using MathPlayer by Design Science for those have who converted it.

• Note that MathML appears under the MathJax menu (right click on any such math formula) in two different ways. The first is under "Show Math As" as "MathML Code", which is probably of little relevance since it applies only to the one formula clicked on. The second is under "Math Settings > Math Renderer" where one can choose (for the given website) to have math formulas rendered to the browser as MathML. This seems most likely to provide the screen reader software with a consistent interface. Feb 8 '19 at 18:10

• The combination of MathML as the MathJax renderer + "Fast Preview" seems to result in "raw" $\LaTeX$ strings being emitted into my non-MathML enabled (Chromium for Linux) browser. It's possible that the underlying XML encoding is present but ignored as lacking significance as XHTML markup. Feb 8 '19 at 18:58
