If the math is being read with a web browser and if it is in the form of
mathML, then one can read it with almost any screen reader except
Jaws.  [Jaws is repairing a problem with their MSAA support and have
promised that Jaws will read math with the next patch].  One needs only to
be sure that you are using Internet Explorer 6 and the free MathPlayer
(version 2, now available in late beta form) mathML plug-in from Design
Science, http://www.dessci.com.

Otherwise a human reader is the only text to speech technology that can
read math.
