Hello,
I'm Daniel Gillen, a totally blind entering college freshman.
For those of you who have been on the list for quite a while now,
you may remember my e-mail that I sent out about which program
might be a better solution for translating math into a Braille
document through Duxbury. I have since installed MathType, and
tried to translate a Word document containing math text into a
BRF file which I can read on my BrailleNote's Braille display.
What I first did was select the "Convert Equations" option from
the MathType tab on the Word 2010 ribbon menus. I tried
converting "MathType and Equation Editor Equations" to "Text
Using MathType Translator" before importing the document into
Duxbury using the "BANA Nemeth" translation scheme. However, in
place of the intended math chunks (equations, expressions, etc.)
in the Duxbury document), all I saw were the XML tags (the coded
text strings enclosed by angle brackets <>). Could anyone please
give me any tips on how I can properly translate equations in a
Word document into Nemeth Braille through Duxbury, assuming that
MathType is the program used to render those print equations in
the first place?
Thank you,
Daniel
