Until now, there were few supports on reading the mathematical expressions except text based expressions, so it is important to provide the reading of the mathematical expressions. Also, there are various of obstacles for people who are not visually impaired when reading the mathematical expressions such as the situation of presbyopia, reading the mathematical expressions in the vehicles, and so on. Therefore, supports for people to read mathematical expressions in various situations are needed. In the previous research, the main goal was to transform the mathematical expressions into Korean text based on Content MathML. In this paper, we expanded the range of the research from a reading disabilities to people who are not reading disabilities. We tested appropriacy of the rules we made to convert the MathML based expressions into speech and defined 3 math-to-speech rules in korean based on levels. We implemented the mathematical expressions by using 3 math-to-speech rules. We took comprehension test to find out whether our math to speech rules are well-defined or not.

최근 독서 장애인을 위한 국제 디지털 음성 도서 표준인 DAISY를 통해 장애인의 고등 교육을 위한 연구가 활성화되고 있으나 그림이나 수식과 같은 특수요소는 음성도서로 만들어 활용하기 어렵다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 중학교 교과과정에 포함된 내용 MathML 엘리먼트에 대한 한글 독음 규칙을 정의하였다. 또한, 정의한 한글 독음 규칙에 따라 내용 MathML로 표현된 수식을 독음 텍스트로 변환하는 프로그램을 XSLT로 구현하였다.
