I tried it with Freedom Scientific's Focus 40 but the Math Equations appeared as text (five plus four) and not with the relevant Braille symbols.Also, can the Word files with MathType equations be accessed with Focus 40 or any other Braille displays?RebeccaFrom: Shannon Pruitt <sdpruitt99 at yahoo.com>Sent: Mon, 5 Dec 2016 03:24:49 GMT+0530To: Blind Math list for those interested in mathematics <blindmath at nfbnet.org>Cc: Rebecca Maria Carvalho <rebecca at xrcvc.org>Subject: Re: [Blindmath] MathType in UEBIt should work with most any Braille display.> On Dec 3, 2016, at 3:05 AM, Rebecca Maria Carvalho via Blindmath <blindmath at nfbnet.org> wrote:>> Hello,Which Braille displays can be used to read Nemeth content from the HTML file created from Word & MathType?Also, can the Word file with MathType also be accessed on a Braille display?RebeccaFrom: Shannon Pruitt via Blindmath <blindmath at nfbnet.org>;Sent: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 22:07:27 GMT+0530To: sarah.jevnikar at mail.utoronto.ca, Blind Math list for those interested in mathematics <blindmath at nfbnet.org>;Cc: Shannon Pruitt <sdpruitt99 at yahoo.com>;Subject: Re: [Blindmath] MathType in UEBYou can access HTML documents that have been created with Word & MathTyoe in Nemeth or UEB using a Braille display and an iPad.> On Nov 29, 2016, at 9:50 AM, Sarah Jevnikar via Blindmath <blindmath at nfbnet.org>; wrote:>> I'm ashamed to say I didn't realize how little is available for UEB math> notation.
