We are using alt text descriptions because accurate reading of MathML content varies so widely depending on screen reader versions and the browser being used.\r\n(XML attached.)\r\n\r\n[NVDA_BugExample.txt](https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/files/81757/NVDA_BugExample.txt)\r\n1.\tOpen the following link in Firefox:  uat-collegeboard.testnav.com/client/index.html#login?username=LGN557120611&password=MDYQWJ8G\r\n2.\tOn the Start Test Page, press B until the Start Test Now button is selected, and press Enter.\r\n3.\tOn the Section Start Page, press B until the Section Start button is selected, and press Enter.\r\n4.\tOn the Question Page, press H until the Question heading is selected.\r\n5.\tPress Down arrow.\r\n\r\n•\tExpected:  NVDA should read the following text:\r\nIt is given that sine x equals, a where x is the radian measure of an angle and\r\n•\tActual:  NVDA skips the MathML alt text and instead reads:\r\nIt is given that   where x is the radian measure of an angle and\r\n•\tExpected:  On the following line, NVDA should read:\r\nthe fraction pi over 2, is less than x, and x is less than pi.\r\n•\tActual:  NVDA reads nothing.\r\n\r\nInterestingly, MathML is read in the radio button choices shown on this page, but again not the alt text which was coded for these items.  Instead, the MathML is being read directly."}}
