[Blindmath] Homework for College Class

[Lanie]

Thanks.  I'll definitely look into learning LaTeX.

Hmm I wonder if it would be a good idea to write a simplified 
editor for
Latex for this exact problem?  If yes what would people like to 
see in it?
Would it be good to be able to read in nemeth Braille files as 
well as being
able to input formula's?  Any ideas for those of us who are 
programmers?

Lanie,
LateX is the standard for producing mathematical documents on 
many
universities.  I highly recommend you learn it.  Unlike some self 
invented
shorthand lateX allows you to express any mathematical expression
unambiguously.  LateX will also benefit you when you are writing 
a thesis
because you'll be able to get a perfect layout just by coding 
correctly
rather than having to check it on the screen.

You can write lateX in any text editor, and you can convert it 
into PDF
using the pdflatex command line program which comes with mictex.
I hear TeXnic center is accessible and could make your job 
easier.
There are many lateX tutorials which can get you started.

 What programs have you tried for wordprocessing? I can't think 
of any
 that nvda won't work with.  Even Notepad should do the trick, 
even if
 you have to use a shorthand for some symbols, such as sr(x) for 
square
 root of x.

 Have a great day,

 Hi, all.  I was wondering if anyone can help with this.  I'm 
taking a
 calculus class in college, where I've just done "so homework and 
now
 have it in Braille.  I'm not beure how to transcribe it into a 
format
 my professor can read though.  Does anyone have any suggestions.  
So
 far, I thought of using a computer program where I could type it 
out
 and email it to him, but I haven't found one that's accessible 
with
 NVDA, the screen reader I use.  My second option would be 
reading it
 all out loud on to a digital recorder and emailing it to him, 
but
 that's just really tedious.  Also, I've thought about getting a 
reader
 and scribe, but that will make me tied down to someone, and with 
my
 schedule, that won't really work.  I would really appreciate any 
help
 ASAP.  Thanks.
