[Blindmath] Creating braille math for a refreshable braille display

[John Gardner]

Hello, I am surprised by this exchange.  My understanding is that Duxbury
translates files made by Scientific Notebook but not "real' Tex files.  I
know that there are Duxbury people on this list.  Please confirm if Duxbury
can translate regular LaTeX.  If so I agree that it would be awesome.

In case Duxbury cannot translate LaTeX, there are several ways to get Latex
to conventional braille.  I confess I am not sure I know all of them.  One
that works quite well is the Tex2Word application available from
http://www.chikrii.com/products/tex2word/tex-to-word/ for about US$50.  Then
use the methods I described earlier for MS Word.

hello:
What are the chances of getting a math book in TeX? This is an awesome 
solution if it's viable, but I'm thinking it's not due to publishers.

What sorts of solutions exist for reading brf on a pc?
Thanks,
