[Blindmath] Results of Using the Perkins

[Alex Hall]

Jaws should work then. Contact Humanware to see exactly what you have
to do; this depends on your operating system, jaws version, and type
and keysoft version of the BrailleNote being used.
However, if you are typing anyway, why not simply type right on the
BrailleNote, perhaps using UEB or a computer braille table? I used
computer braille to write out math for years and it worked quite well.
Once UEB came along in, I believe, ks8 I used that, but that was a
personal preference. Once written on the bn, the student need only
email the file to the teacher, or "hand it in" using a thumb drive or
storage card of some type.
