[Blindmath] MathType in UEB

[Shannon Pruitt]

It appears that APH is working to release Braille Blaster later which relies on Liblouis. Supposedly it will accurately translate UEB.  That may solve the mathplayer issue soon.

I would think that DBT has a few UEB templates that can be used when importing Word files with MathType content and then translating them into Braille. This would be if one was to read a formatted Braille (BRF) file on a BrailleNote or other similar device, but I'm not sure if this could be a method for displaying math 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 something a bit like what the U.S. is trying to iplement in most places (UEB for literary and Nemeth Code for math/science materials)?
