[BlindMath] math and braille displays

I was right Jaws has a braille viewer application  in the group where it
installs.  If you run it and Jaws it works as a visual braille device.

Subject: [BlindMath] math and braille displays

I am a TVI and braille transcriber trying to understand math and technology
better. Unfortunately, I don't have a braille display to play around with at
the moment. I also have to disclose that I have a strong bias towards hard
copy braille for math. I produce Nemeth in the UEB context using Duxbury
either with 6-key input or in Word with MathType then Duxbury depending on
the level and complexity of the math.

If someone is accessing a document or website with a braille display, what
exactly does the display show in terms of math? Is it Nemeth? computer
braille? UEB technical? And how does the document/website need to be done in
order for the math portion to be shown properly? the braille display is
simply showing what a screenreader would be saying, yes?

If this is too broad of a topic to address here, feel free to contact me off
list or point me to resources that you feel could explain things to me.

thanks in advance for your help,
Shelley Mack
