[Blindmath] Using Bookshare for math books

[Joseph Lee]

Hi,
I usually don't read math books from Bookshare in braille format 
- I tend to use DAISY version of the book (with images) because 
some do have math problems.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Blindmath] Using Bookshare for math books

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?

 Oops! Forgot to mention that Scientific Notebook works with 
Duxbury.  You
 do the work and set up the document in Scientific Notebook and 
then open it
 in Duxbury to tranlate it into Braille.

 Is there a software that can easily scan and translate 
mathematics  into
 Nemeth?  Like print to Duxbury in one key stroke without having 
to
 recheck and adjust symbols.  I could swear I read somewhere that 
someone
 was developing a software that would make math translation 
easier with
 less errors.
 I would appreciate any and all information.
 Thank you.
