Does chromevox has any math content (mathml/mathjax/etc) support?

Hi,

As much as I have problems with VO at least on the mac math content although not perfect is supported out of the box. I haven't managed to get chromevox read something meaningful out of webwork or mathml for example, and since it's used a lot by students and chromevox is otherwise impressive on the web I'd like to ask the community if google has anything planned for that soon hopefully?

Really. Should I understand then that there are no stem students with chromebooks?

Okay so I don't now if google issued this update because of my post but if we didn't have this previously and I was just doing things wrong we have quite decent mathml/mathjax support now, it's honestly quite impressive if this is an actual update. I can almost do all my webworks on my dynabook chromeos flex now. Almost. Some bug with webwork and espeak pronouncing letter by letter apparently for problems like peacewise function,

f(x) = \begin{cases}
               19         & \text{ if } x \lt -8 \\
             -x+ 11 & \text{ if } -8 \le x \lt 8 \\
                6     & \text{ if } x =8 \\
               11       & \text{ if } x \gt 8.
            \end{cases}

And bug with the text app just announcing the first line of the f(x) and nothing after until the empty "end of text" announcement. Nice work if you've actually done it, Google.

So I've noticed that on webwork, which uses mathjax, support with chromevox is still very beta stage. Sometimes it will spell out all the text it should read, like e x p o n a n t ... instead of just saying exponent, and this for each thing it would see in that expression. For example I had this problem (copied as latex from pathjax)

x = 35\sqrt{32-p^2}

It spells out everything. Moreover, it's impossible to navigate with arrow keys within the expression despite the announcement of CV that I can do so In short seems that mathml works but mathjax is very random and often does not work at all.
