<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">
<div>Hi All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
I just tested it a bit with ChromeVox, the screen reader embeded in Chrome OS (on Chromebooks), and while the screen reader reads the equation, it doesn't read it quite the same as we would. I entered KE=½mv<sup>2</sup><br>
<div>and ChromeVox said "LaTeK: K E equal backslash f r a c left brace 1 right brace left brace 2 right brace mv squared" If someone who used the screen reader understood the descriptive nature of the reader they could understand the equation. I tried another
y=(x+3)<sup>2</sup> and ChromeVox read "LaTeX: y equal backslash left x plus 3 backslash right squared" which is not quite the same. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hopes this helps answer your question.</div>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>

<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I *think* they are accessible. Here's a resource on
<a href="http://accessibility.psu.edu/software/canvas/canvasmath/" class="x_OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk26430" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
math accessibility from Penn State</a> that says the equation editor writes math using LaTeX, which is accessible. But, it looks like they use Mathjax to ensure accessibility... so... maybe the Canvas equation editor gets it's halfway there. </p>
