Viewing web pages containing MathML requires a browser that can display MathML. Currently, only Netscape, Mozilla and Amaya can display MathML directly. If you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the best solution for MathML display is Design Science MathPlayer.
MathPlayer is a high-performance MathML display engine for Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser. It requires Internet Explorer for Windows version 6.0 and later. We make MathPlayer available for free in order to accelerate the adoption of MathML in the math, science, and education communities.
Visually impaired users of Internet Explorer use screen reader software packages that speak the words on the page. Many of the most popular Windows screen readers, such as Window-Eyes, HAL, Read & Write, and JAWS, will work with MathPlayer to speak the math in the page along with the words.
Here's a sample of a web page as displayed in Internet Explorer with MathPlayer. Almost all of MathPlayer's special features are accessed by placing the mouse pointer over an equation and clicking the right mouse button, as shown on the picture. Choose the MathZoom command (or left-click on the equation) to get a closer look at the equation. This can be handy to view small scripts and accents.
