[BlindMath] Volunteer will make raised line diagrams

[Sabra Ewing]

I probably would not have been able to read those, but probably many people would want them. You could also post this to the computer science list. It would be great if the person could learn to make audio graphs too, Or if the person could take the PDF of a math book and make the equations read. I also heard that some library's I have 3-D printing, so the person could prepare pictures for 3-D printing if the individual had access to a 3-D printer. I wish I had had access to one because I can't read the flat drawings at all and the three-dimensional ones would have really been helpful. I can also listen to the audio graphs very well. Or if the person doesn't have any takers for the drawings or doesn't have enough work to satisfy him, it would be helpful if he could give some accessible math and science books to bookshare. If you are trying to read math, science, or computer science, a lot of it is not really accessible. I don't know how to explain it, but the equations are not correct and it is basically impossible to read. Also, all of this would be free as well. Programs that you can use to make audio pictures and graphs are free.

>>> Hello,

>>> My brother would like to volunteer to make raised line drawings for a blind college student or recent blind college graduate.  Dan was planning to make approx 30 drawings ( a chapter or two of a technical text).  The drawings would not have the braille labels on them. You would need access to a sighted reader and a Perkins braille writer so that you could work with the reader to label them.  My brother made raised line drawings for some college courses I took. Those drawings included circuit diagrams, line graphs, and other misc diagrams. Dan took physics, electrical engineering, organic chemistry and multiple math classes such as calculus and matrix theory, so drawings in these subjects areas could be  supported (within reason).  I found the drawings quite helpful in my studies.
