[Blindmath] Using Bookshare for math books

[Lewicki, Maureen]

Does anyone use Bookshare to download math books? I have downloaded math books from Bookshare, but they are translated into literay braille, hence. The math problems themselves are often not even in the document! Literary does not have the math symbols! 

If I use this textbook with a student, I think I will have to go through, and enter the problems in one at a time, and the graphics, in the geometry and charts reading units will also be involved.

The book is available in Braille already, but is exorbitant 

Is there a better way?
