[Blindmath] Results of Using the Perkins

[Joseph Lee]

Hi,
Yes - either computer braille needs to be used, or grade 2 
version must be used when reading.  There's no Nemeth support on 
any screen readers out there for now.
Also, if the student enters his expressions, he must use computer 
braille.
As for setting up a BN with JAWS, I'd rather leave it up to 
BrailleNote List to figure it out (because we need details about 
your student's unit).
Cheers,
Joseph

It can, but the math will not appear in Nemeth code if this is 
what you
want.

I didn't know the bn can act as a display from the computer, that 
is
interesting.

Why not use the computer straight away, with the brailleNote as a 
display?
This, of course, assumes the screen reader supports the bn.

 OK, so picture this, my student is sitting next to me, his 
BrailleNote
 is in his lap as his calculator (he has agreed that he will use 
the
 computer's calculator instead), the computer monitor and 
keyboard in
 front of him so he can key in his work and answers.  The Perkins 
is
 also on the desk along with the necessary paper.  Then there is 
the
 braille version of the test, his brailled test answers, and now 
he is
trying to make test corrections.  YIKES!
 We found that he did complete his algebra better using the 
Perkins and
 then transferring his answers to Word so we can read them.  But 
this
 method is tedious.  I am looking at LiveMath Maker and 
Scientific
 Notebook.  Thank you everybody for your suggestions!

 Have a great day - Kate
