[Blindmath] new to list with a question

[sarah.jevnikar at utoronto.ca]

Hi,
apologies if this has already been said. I deleted much of the thread  
before reading it.
What software do you have available? If it's Duxbury, you're in luck.
Download a free trial of InftyReader. It translates pdf documents into  
LaTeX. It does not translate images unfortunately. Use InftyReader to  
convert this pdf file, and save the converted file. Open it in  
Duxbury, translate to Braille, and emboss.
Behold your math test.
Sarah
P.S.: here's the direct download link for InftyReader.
