Hi everyone, I'm on a project, and I've got some queries about #ScreenReaders and symbols.Different screenreaders will interpret it differently, and users' settings can also modify how they behave (e.g. how verbose they are, speed etc.)
I just listened to your post with VoiceOver/Mac and it paused sightly to indicate the parenthetical (hydrogen) rather than announce each bracket. The δ character was announced as 'Greek letter delta'.
But that does not mean JAWS or NVDA will behave the same way, nor that another VoiceOver user will have exactly the same experience.
