Copyright © 2012 Educational Testing Service. All rights reserved. The Problem 5/5/2015 Text-to-speech support for math expressions is in its infancy – Limited choice of syntax/semantics – Limited screen-reader support – Limited or no within-expression navigation – Difficult to author – Works in limited environments 2

Copyright © 2012 Educational Testing Service. All rights reserved. Project Goals 5/5/2015 Add classroom-like synthesized speech “style” Add author- and user-customization features Add interactive navigation Allow math to be created and listened to with screen readers within Microsoft Word (and elsewhere) 3
