[Blindmath] Nemetex

[Paul Chapin]

I've also been looking at Nemetex for this issue. However, I hate to show my ignorance, but my impression was that the Perkins Brailler produces hard copy output only and Nemetex needs an electronic file. We'd have to switch to either a Braille notetaker or scan the printed Braille. BTW, is there any way we can use a standard notebook to do the functions of a braille notetaker? Conceptually it doesn't look like they're that different.

In the interest of full disclosure,  I've done some accessibility support in the past but it hasn't been my primary responsibility so I'm still in the process of bringing myself up to speed.

Subject: [Blindmath] Nemetex

Hello!

I plan to major in Math and have been trying to figure out how I would
work out and submit my math assignments. I’ve previously used a
Perkins brailler to work out Math problems in Nemeth code. I’ve been
looking out for a programme that converts Nemeth code into print. Has
anyone used Nemetex? I’m not really sure how it works. I’ve heard that
it works well with the braille note and I’ve been thinking of getting
the braille note apex. Does Nemetex work well with this model?
I’ve also looked into learning LaTeX, but as a braille and Nemeth code
user, I’m not sure if this is the best option. I would really
appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Thanks,
Shalini
