Is this the correct way to say an integral?

$\begingroup$

For this structure:

Is the correct way to verbally say this (such that a screen reader would read it aloud correctly), "The integral over the interval from negative infinity to positive infinity of f of x with respect to x"?

It seems easier to understand if you say what is being integrated first, then state the bounds of integration, so in the order:

"The integral of the function f of x with respect to x, from negative infinity to positive infinity."

I would read it as the integral of f(x) with respect to x from negative infinity to positive infinity

or maybe the integral from negative infinity to positive infinity of f(x) with respect to x
