so since writing that post this morning i learned that

1) MathML has a plugin called MathPlayer that’s meant for this, some screenreaders work with it. it has settings for both low vision and blind people, and can output stuff to refreshable braille displays (there are various standards for representing math in braille)

2) beyond just being usable for MathML, mathjax has its own set of accessibility tools. I think they allow you to navigate subsets of mathematical expressions for clarity? not super clear how they work

3) MathSpeak is a standard meant for unambiguous rendering of math in speech. MathPlayer can work with it, but presumably it can also be useful if you’re hand-annotating your equations.

(thanks to ilzolende and my fiancée, who saw the original post and brought various parts of this to my attention)
