MathCAT userguide discrepancies with NVDA menus #114
Description
NVDA version: 2026.2.0.57664
I've built the addon from source earlier this week and installed it via the "install from external source" button in NVDA's addon store.
Looking at the instructions in https://daisy.github.io/MathCAT/users.html#adapt-mathcat-to-your-needs
I've noticed two discrepancies.
-
You can find the settings by pressing the NVDA-key+N, then Settings, then MathCAT settings.
In the left navigation pane, the relevant entry is labelled "Math", not "MathCAT".
-
The user guide describes an option for "Speech" > "Disability",
but within NVDA, I see "Speech" > "Impairment", with the same options available as documented.
Are these issues that need to be updated in the documentation? Alternatively, did I not install the addon successfully (considering that a version of MathCAT is now included by default with NVDA)?

If the addon is installed, then at the bottom of the NVDA preferences menu, there should be a "MathCAT Settings..." entry. In all cases, the builtin version has a "Math" tab under NVDA's "Preferences" dialog. Potentially the addon could remove it (maybe). Another thing the addon maybe should do is sync the settings between the two places. NVDA renamed a few settings because... I don't know.
