With MathType (and MathPlayer) installed, NVDA users can access equations on the slides as MathML however, JAWS does not and requires alt text.One can load these saved settings as needed. Save the font and size settings in the Preferences (menu) > Equation Preferences > Save to file.Use MathType’s “Style (Menu) > Define …” to select the Font.Use MathType’s “Size (Menu) > Define …” to select the size of the font.DO NOT enlarge the MathType object by dragging its corners, it will blur the equation.When alt text is added to equations, neither the math nor the alt text appears in Outline View.Alt text should generally match how the equation would be read out loud, although during steps of equations where a process is being explained visually, the alt text should include that as well (“divide both sides by 36”).
Do not use Microsoft Equations & Symbols located in the ribbon.When possible, equations should be on their own line or within a single bulleted list item.Ensure all MathType equations have alt text.Never use Microsoft PPTs “Insert/Symbols” or “Equation Editor”.MathType should match the text font and size on the slide.STEM equations, symbols, and special characters must be set and edited in MathType.If you wish to get information about our world leading solution MathType, please visit our website here. Our support team is here to assist you, you can contact us at for technical queries, or for general information. Unfortunately, at the moment, we do not have a time frame for this. We will progressively integrate a set of MathPlayer accessibility features into MathType (including support for 64-bit Word versions). While we understand that MathType doesn’t fully replace MathPlayer features, we’ve made the decision to go with an online tool that will allow us in turn to be more agile and to provide you with more frequent and complete updates in the future. Mathtype, the leading equation editor worldwide, creates math content compatible with assistive technologies.įor Word (MathType coming soon), you can create accessible math equations with MathType Add-In for Microsoft 365. Nevertheless, at WIRIS we pursue the belief that math should be accessible to anyone. We are not actively developing MathPlayer. Together with MathType 7, MathPlayer can also make Word and PowerPoint (32 bits version) documents more accessible by providing a means for assistive technology such as screen readers and screen magnifiers to speak, navigate, and convert to braille math created with MathType 7 in those documents. Accessibility for web environments using MathPlayer is limited to obsolete browsers such as Internet Explorer 8. MathPlayer views and speaks web pages containing math.
