[Blindmath] Results of Using the Perkins

Thu Feb 9 12:38:34 UTC 2012

I am curious: what is the real difference between Nemeth Code and computer
braille?  If you enter dots using either QWERTY or the BrailleNote, you can
successfully have Nemeth braille displayed on the BrailleNote.  I have used
my BrailleNote in the past to display Computer Braille which was typed using
my knowledge of Nemeth Code.  I guess what I am stating is that as long as
you type in the Nemeth codes using your 6 dot knowledge of Nemeth Braille,
it will display on the BrailleNote.

Please let me know which BrailleNote you are using:  I am still using the
BrailleNote MPower BT 32 

Regards,
Jose

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
