[Blindmath] Math editing and conversion

Mon Feb 2 21:47:47 UTC 2009

Hello. I also have a Braille note and am particularly interested in if there
is a program that allows maths to be printed strait from the device.

Currently the Braille note seems to have no ability to tell what context the
Braille character is used in E.G a grade 2 English Braille sine for AR is an
open bracket.
Would it be possible for any-one to let me know the outcome of the previous
discussion concerning the braillenote part or start a new thread/topic so I
may access any information.

Thanks
Jen!

Hello,
I registered for an Algebra class and my instructor is not familiar with
LaTeX and wants to know if there are any means of doing math more
efficiently using a certain computer program to create math equations
and
expressions.
Is there a computer-based math program that does not have a lot of
learning
curve? I want to be able to use it in Braille and either print it or
email
it to the instructor.
I have a BrailleNote, but at this point I do not have the ability to
print
Nemeth Code straight out of the device without any translation happening
in
the background. Any ay advice would be greatly appreciated.
