[Blindmath] LaTex to Nemeth?

[Lisa Bongiorno]

You can use the software Scientific Notebook, but be careful. You still
have to carefully review all your work once you translate it into
Duxbury - and sometimes the translation is incorrect.  I personally,
find it easier and faster to do a six-key entry using the Nemeth Code in
Duxbury.

Subject: [Blindmath] LaTex to Nemeth?

Hi,

I recently joined this list to learn ways to better ways to make math
accessible to blind students at MIT.    Today, I have a very specific
question:

What's the best path to convert a LaTex document to Nemeth Braille?   We
have both Duxbury and the Tiger Software Suite, but neither seems to be
able to translate the LaTex to Nemeth.   Is it possible with one of
these applications?   Both mention the use of either Scientific Notebook
(Duxbury) or MathType (Tiger): is there a way to do it through those
applications?

FYI - While our long term goal is to have our students learn and read
LaTex directly, as it's used widely here anyway, for students that are
not up to speed on LaTex and already read Nemeth, I'd like to be able to
emboss in Nemeth.

Can anyone advise me on what's doable here, and, if yes, how?

Thanks in advance,
Mary
