NVDA is also mis reading the expression. When reading continuously, NVDA reads the first expression and skips the "and" and the second expression.
When reading by word, ctrl+right arrow, the sentence is spoken correctly. When reading one character at a time with the right arrow, the sentence is read as expected.
Are George and Brian getting different results with NVDA?
haha.. I just wrote that up as a separate issue #24
Description:
When speaking a sentence containing Office Math expressions in a MS Word document, JAWS concatenates the "math speech text" for the expressions with the text following the content. This issue does not occur when using the NVDA screen reader with the same content. This issue might be related to #6.
Steps to Reproduce:
The expressions MathContent a is equal to band MathContent y is equal to 3 sare examples of equations.
instead of asThe expressions MathContent a is equal to b and MathContent y is equal to 3 s are examples of equations.
Expected Behavior:
When reading aloud a document containing Office Math expressions, the Office Math expressions should be spoken distinctly and independently of the surrounding text content. For example, the sentence "The expressions $a=b$ and $y=3s$ are examples of equations." should be spoken as: "The expressions MathContent a is equal to b and MathContent y is equal to 3 s are examples of equations."
Observed Behavior:
When reading aloud a document containing Office Math expressions, the speech text for the Office Math expressions is erroneously concatenated with the text content following the expression despite a space being present in the text immediately after the Office Math expression(s). For example, the sentence "The expressions $a=b$ and $y=3s$ are examples of equations." should be spoken as: "The expressions MathContent a is equal to band MathContent y is equal to 3 sare examples of equations."
