Research direction

Start by locating the ClearSpeak verbose speech handling for the supplied MathML expression and reproduce its current output. Verify that the highlighted word changes from "times" to "of" while the rest of the spoken expression remains correct.

Description

bug rules rust

The following MathML expression:

<math> <mfrac> <mi>d</mi> <mrow><mi>d</mi><mi>&#x3C4;</mi></mrow> </mfrac> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <msup> <mrow> <mo>&#x2016;</mo> <mo>&#x2207;</mo> <mi>&#x3C5;</mi> <mo>&#x2016;</mo> </mrow><mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <mn>2</mn> <mo>&#x222B;</mo> <mi>&#x3A6;</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mi>&#x3C5;</mi> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mi>d</mi> <mi>&#x3C7;</mi> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> </math>

has the following output for ClearSpeak verbose: "the fraction with numerator d; and denominator d tau; end fraction; times; open paren; magnitude of gradient of upsilon squared; plus; 2; the integral of cap phi of upsilon, d chi; close paren"

It should be of and not times.
