[BlindMath] Nemeth code

[Nicholas J]

Hello,

Thank you for the emails. I mostly want to type nemeth code with a braille display. My math textbooks have the formulas in mathML, so it has been rendering well on the refreshable braille display. I have now been able to type nemeth code on my IOS device, but am not having any luck for typing it in Microsoft Word.

Thank you,
Nicholas

In the case of print math, the print math has to be in a supported format such as MathML. Back translation requires the use of an appropriate table. I don't know whether NVDA provides such a table for Nemeth braille math or, if it does, how well it works.
