[Blindmath] Notes on braillenote

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

I have never used Math Tracks (or however it's spelled).  But it is written in Java, and I read on another list that the Java Access Bridge doesn't work in 64-bit windows.  Of the screen readers suggested in another message, I think that NVDA may be the one to try with it.

Otherwise, to sonify graphs, you can look into the vOICe, a program written by Peter Meijer, a Dutch researcher and available at
  www.seeingwithsound.com
It can not only sonify information from cameras, but also from portions of your screen or image files.

Subject: [Blindmath] Notes on braillenote

Hey guys,
I was hoping you could help me with something. I'm taking AP Calculus this year eand my teacher does a lot of power point presentations so students can take the notes. The problem is , when he gives me the power point and I save it as a microsoft word document in outline view, it doesn't work at all on my braille note, which is my preferred note taker. It works perfectly fine on my laptop however. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
  Another thing, I used Math tracks, which is a graphing program from Nasa, in my Algebra class last year on an XP computer and it worked fine. When I try to install the program on my windows 7 comp though, jaws doesn't seem to work it all with it. Could it just be that the program is not compadible with windows 7? If any of you could help with these problems, it would be great. :) Thanks, Minh
