Hi all,

we use MathJax for our MathML math. JAWS text output is just one letter X,
regardless of the math content. JAWS versions 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024
all do this. The speech output is perfect. NVDA has no issue in the text
output as long as the access8math addon is installed. VoiceOver is also
fine. Even something as simple as the following example that just has the
number 4 in MathML outputs X in JAWS:

<math><mn>4</mn></math>

Is there something special that we need to do for JAWS?

Thanks,
Mike
