[Blindmath] Typing in Nemeth Braille

[I. C. Bray]

Neil,
Well, I am going to need to use something, and I have been putting off 
deciding until I get some idea what's out there and what makes sence for me.
I don't want to have to learn 5 new programs and try to keep the command & 
control sets seperate...
I've been reading the BlindMath ListServ and hearing the difficulties and am 
just hoping I collect enough info and various ways to approach my own Math, 
Science, and Teaching needs now that I'm blind.

OH, Side note question.
Is the Blind Science listserv not active??  I Joined the list, and do not 
think I got any replies...

Ian

: You can also use MathType with Word and then use Duxbury to translate to
: Nemeth.  Like Scientific notebook, with MathType you just type the math in
: using an easy math editor. If you are a familiar with Word, it is probably
: a better option than getting Scientific Notebook and having to learn that.
: MathType is just a math editor and so is a lot cheaper than Scientific
: notebook.  Your school might already have a site license [full disclosure:
: my company makes MathType]
