Hi Joel, I believe that in order to read MathType content in PowerPoint you must have the MathPlayer plugin installed. Math content in PowerPoint can’t simply be read by JAWS without the plugin like m

Keith, Not 100% sure if this works in Windows 7 or not, but you can give it a try. Narrator was beefed up in Windows 10, and I know these steps would work on Windows 10: Press the Windows Key + Enter

Hi Ann, Application Mode is a mode that JAWS will enter when it begins to interact with a web application. Application Mode is designed to treat the web application as if it were a typical Windows-bas
