It is a common rhetoric that maths content is harder to ensure it is accessible. This how-to-guide will demonstrate how you can set up your device to interact with math on the web rendered using MathJax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MathJax rendered equations enables STEM authors the ability to continue typesetting using LaTeX, as the MathJax engine performs the conversion automatically. This conversion enables assistive technology to interpret the math equation using MathML markup language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting started: Installing a screenreader <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get started you will need to install a screenreader and an addon that enables the screenreader to understand maths equations. In this guide I am using;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvaccess.org\/download\/\">NVDA version 2024.1<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/addons.nvda-project.org\/addons\/access8math.en.html\">Access8Math version 4.0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both of these softwares are freely available although others are available. The first time you run your screenreader it will prompt you to choose your <strong>NVDA <\/strong>action key, by default this is the <strong>Insert <\/strong>key although you can modify this to the <strong>Caps Lock <\/strong>key. The action key is used to perform actions with the screenreader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installing the maths add-on<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add-ons are software packages that extend the capabilities of the screenreader. Add-ons are located in the <strong>add-on store <\/strong>within the the <strong>NVDA Tools <\/strong>menu or available to download from the Web. For this workflow we are installing the <strong>Access8Math<\/strong> addon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the screenreader is installed with the Access8Math add enabled, we can begin to interact with math that is rendered using MathJax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interacting with maths equations on the web<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Access8Math addon is able to interpret MathML content in web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge. Navigate to the equation using the <strong>Tab key<\/strong>, if this is first time you are interacting with maths content on the webpage, you may need to activate the accessibility features in MathJax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to the equation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <strong>spacebar <\/strong>on your keyboard. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to the <strong>Accessibility <\/strong>menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Activate<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refresh the webpage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With accessibility now activated you can enter navigation mode which enables you to explore components of an equation and navigate between them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to the equation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Enter <\/strong>to the select the spacebar to enable navigation mode on the MathML object. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigation keys to for exploring equations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Down Arrow<\/strong>&#8220;: reduces the reading snippet level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Up Arrow<\/strong>&#8220;: increases the reading snippet level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Left Arrow<\/strong>&#8220;: navigates to the previous math content at this level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Right Arrow<\/strong>&#8220;: moves to the next math content at this level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Home<\/strong>&#8220;: moves back to the top of the entire math content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Ctrl+C<\/strong>&#8220;: copies the MathML source code of the object.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;<strong>Esc<\/strong>&#8220;: exits the navigation mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reading snippets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reading snippets are the current selection within a maths equation. Reading snippets are ordered logically to enable an ordered sequence of navigation. In the example, we can explore the logical order of the Quadratic equation. Our aim is to navigate to <strong>4ac<\/strong> expression within the equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to the equation and select the <strong>Enter key<\/strong> to
