The MathTrax interface can be read by screen readers such as Jaws for Windows. MathTrax sounds can be played on standard computer speakers or through headphones.
Navigating MathTrax with a screen reader is accomplished by tabbing from element to element. With Jaws, hitting Tab moves the focus one component forward and Shift+Tab moves the focus one component backwards. Providing navigation shortcuts is important for enabling advanced users to jump directly to the component of interest.
MathTrax has a number of shortcuts or hotkeys built into the software to facilitate navigation for advanced users.
