Introduction I am a blind undergraduate studen in mathematics. I use screen reading software, which uses synthesized speech to read aloud the contents of the screen, to read and write math. Due to the limitations in presentation-focused formats like PDF and MathJax, screen readers can't properl...
Disclaimer: I'm part of the MathJax team. Also, this got a bit long. tl;dr Try out NVDA with MathPlayer 4 on Firefox here on math.SE JAWS 13 is a bit old (2011) and the situation of screenreaders with respect to math and the web has changed drastically since then. As already mentioned, JAWS 16 ...
MathJax provides an accessibility extension that works with a variety of screen readers. For more details concerning MathJax and screen readers, I suggest reading this link on accessibility features in MathJax. Often this is through MathML, as MathJax translates expressions to MathML internally. ...
Is there any way to enforce the lower and upper limits of integrals and sums to appear below and above the respective signs in MathJax (cf e.g. the German variant described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_symbol and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/170028/integral-sign-int)? ...
\int_0^1 f(x) dx
and \int\limits_0^1 f(x) dx
. (Actually, I did not know this until know - I only saw that in the Wikipedia article you linked.) Here is the comparison: $$\int_0^1 f(x) dx \qquad \int\limits_0^1 f(x) dx.$$ I am not sure whether this is what you're trying to get. (In the previous comment, Zacky also used \limits
to get similar effect in the inline mode.) — Martin Sleziak 21 mins ago$\int\limits_0^1 f(x) dx$
$\int\limits_0^1 f(x) dx$ or $\displaystyle\int\limits_0^1 f(x) dx$
$\displaystyle\int\limits_0^1 f(x) dx$. (Which is basically the suggestion from the first comment. Personally, I avoid \displaystyle in inline formulas, but probably this is a matter of taste and writing style.) — Martin Sleziak 13 mins ago\prod_{j=1}^5 T_j = \prod\limits_{j=1}^5 T_j
$\prod_{j=1}^5 T_j = \prod\limits_{j=1}^5 T_j$. Also, in some styles of writing, we want ${}_a\!\int^b f(x)\;dx$. — GEdgar 10 mins ago$\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty a_n$
$\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty a_n$. Would you be willing to summarize some of the stuff mentioned in comments and post it as an answer? BTW we can also discuss this in the MathJax room, if we want to avoid too long discussion in comments. — Martin Sleziak 1 min ago« first day (2127 days earlier) ← previous day next day → last day (1548 days later) »
