When I tested the exam yesterday, NVDA read all the text but stopped when it reached the math equations. How can I get NVDA to read the math problems? I’ve already tried the MathCAT and Access8Math extensions, but it still isn’t reading the equations. Am I
missing a step? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.</span></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
