[Blindmath] MathType in UEB

Hi there,
Which screen reader did you use? The display of math depends on that rather
than the Braille display used I'm pretty sure. NVDA and Math Type is the
only successful combination for math to work.

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

Hello,Which Braille displays can be used to read Nemeth content from the
HTML file created from Word &amp; MathType?Also, can the Word file with
MathType &nbsp;also be accessed on a Braille display?RebeccaFrom:

This seems a perfectly logical thing to do - I as a Nemeth user&gt;

challenges&gt; end-users like myself don&#39;t always

I&#39;ve interacted with MathType&gt; content is when I&#39;ve
been receiving my math/physics assignments in college&gt; and converting
Word documents with MathType into Braille files through&gt; Duxbury
Braille Translator (DBT) software. I would think that DBT has a few&gt;
UEB templates that can be used when importing Word files with
MathType&gt; content and then translating them into Braille. This would
be if one was to&gt; read a form!
 atted Braille (BRF) file on a BrailleNote or other similar&gt; dev ice,
but I&#39;m not sure if this could be a method for displaying
math&gt; content on the fly (say, when reading a Web page with math on
it). Besides,> does Canada use UEB for math as well as literary content,
or are they doing&gt; something a bit like what the U.S. is trying to
iplement in most places (UEB&gt; for literary and Nemeth Code for
math/science materials)?&gt;> Thank you,> Daniel&gt;>>
