Does the reader capture accurate information as it appears in the table and the columns and rows?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: It depends how the table is included in the article. When it looks like it is an image including data then Read & Write skips over the table altogether.
I also noticed that sometimes when reading column heading it will read them horizontally instead of how it should read. I will include an example of an article that has all 3; skips over 1 table, reads the column heading incorrectly, and reads the data in the columns correctly ( https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A466782954/AONE?u=ko_acd_fc&sid=bookmark-AONE&xid=8f097e94)
