I've a formula, eg:

enter image description here

where the latex's code is:

\int_{a}^{b} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\rho}} d\rho

The output should be somthing like this: "The integral from a to b of one over the square root of ro in de ro."

I'm aware of this question, but I'm interested in a tool/library/service used by a un*x program "headless" and more the answer is ten years old, I hope something new is available.

    currently mathjax speech rules are probably the most advanced thing here, you could access them via a headless browser but see https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/basic/a11y-extensions.html#a11y-extensions – David Carlisle Oct 25 '21 at 20:30

    or more directly to the underlying speech rule engine https://speechruleengine.org/ – David Carlisle Oct 25 '21 at 20:34

Take a look at MathCAT, a Rust library for converting MathML to speech strings.

For completeness of the solution list, following the David Carlisle suggestion, I've develop a MathJax wrapper:
