There is another option. If the student types their assignments in Nemeth
and save them as .txt files, they can be translated into LaTeX with Nemetex,
found at www.accessisoft.com/nemetex<http://www.accessisoft.com/nemetex>
It can then be opened in Scientific Viewer and printed as a pdf. It sounds
more complicated than it is.

Learning LaTeX is probably a good idea as a long-term plan for your student.

I hope this helps,

Hi Maureen,

Thanks so much. I think this is the way we are going to go for now. The
instructor looked at a sample and is quite open to working with the
BrailleNote Apex files.

Thannks again.

My students send their assignments in via email with all of the
"superscripts open parentheses etc. teachers are easy able to figure it out,
and it gives them an added appreciation, in my opinion, of what my students
have as hurdles. I have only had one teacher who refused to accept it and in
that case the student dictated his answers. But frankly I felt that was
completely unfair to the student. Hope that helps

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.
