[Blindmath] Ways to create math solutions for sighted instructors

[Russell Solowoniuk]

Hi Neal,

Does Duxbury 12.1 include the ability to translate from nemeth directly to LaTex print file? How is this done?

Also, the student in question uses a Mac. I know there is a Duxbury version available for the Mac, but will the student be able to do what you suggest on a Mac? If not, we may be able to provide a loaner Windows laptop.

Thanks to all who responded!

Best,

Russell

First the disclosure, I am with Duxbury Systems the manufacturer of DBT (the
Duxbury Braille Translator).

If the student uses DBT Win version 12.1, the they can six key in their
braille math directly [in either UEB or Nemeth].
Then the student can translate that file to LaTex print file.
The student can open the resulting file in any LaTeX software, such as the
free Scientific Viewer, and print it out for the braille impaired teacher.
This can all be done independently by the student with their access
technology.

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

We are supporting a student who is blind and taking Math 099. We are trying
to figure out a way for the student to complete assignments and print them
out in a format that a sighted instructor is able to read and comprehend.
The student will be working on things like quadratic equations.

The student does use nemeth. He has a BrailleNote Apex QT. The problem with
printing from the Apex is that things like superscript, subscript,
fractions, etc. are written out as (superscript) 2 (endscript), (subscript)
2 (endscript) (open frac) 1Over 2 (close frac) etc.

Is there a method of working with math for the blind that will allow the
material to be exported to a format that is easy to understand for sighted
instructors?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Russell
