Testing on a MacOS Ventura 13.5.1 Chrome Version 126.0.6478.127
| Test ID | Name | Description | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mathml-010 | Navigating block MathML with assistive technology and other technologies | The test checks if block MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies. | Fail | Math looks good but using the Read Aloud functionality skips over everything between the two lines including text and the math. |
| mathml-020 | Navigating inline MathML with assistive technology and other technologies | The test checks if inline MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies. | Fail | Math looks good but using the Read Aloud functionality skips over everything between the two lines including text and the math. |
| math-image-030 | Navigating Block Math images followed by Summary/Details with MathML | The test checks if block MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies in a HTML Summary/Details as an option to get at the native MathML. | Fail | Math looks good but Read Aloud speaks the details of the math even if the summary is collapsed. Also skips past first and last sentence surrounding the math equation in the details. |
| math-image-040 | Navigating Inline Math images followed by commented out MathML | This test shows an inline math expression as an image with only alt-text describing the math equation. This is not ideal but if a publisher can not use raw mathML directly this is an option for reprocessing in the future. | Pass | image alt text is spoken when that feature is turned on in settings. |

| extdescription-010 | Detection and Utilization of HTML Details and Summary elements | Check if you can use HTML details and summary successfully and read the extended description contained in it. | Pass | Read Aloud reads the hidden content when not expanded and highlights blank areas on the screen. I don't think this should be the behavior. |
| extdescription-020 | Technique for linking to a single extended description placed in a separate HTML file via text hyperlinks | Check if activating the hyperlink placed under the image takes you to a separate HTML file with extended descriptions, and the back link there brings you back to the image. | Pass | The link to the extended description is not read with Read Aloud, and a blinking "circle" working icon appears. Manually pressing the link then using the read aloud works fine. Navigating back to content also works fine. |
