[Blindmath] LaTex to Nemeth?

[Roopakshi Pathania]

Hi Mary,

You could also give LaTeX to MathML a try.
MathML can be read allowed with any screen reader and can also  be displayed on a Braille display, though I don't have any idea about its quality.

2 programs for translating TeX to MathML are:

1. TTM

2. TeX4ht
