[BlindMath] Question About Backtranslation of Nemeth Math

Thu Sep 26 12:23:46 UTC 2019

FYI:
The Duxbury Braille Translator already supports a form of braille to print
math translation for Nemeth, UEB and Unified French braille math.
This was created to allow blind users to create braille math and convert it
to print math to share with colleagues, teachers, students and others who
are braille-impaired ( or print dependent).

With DBT 12.4, the Duxbury Braille Translator, one can input (six key in)
braille math for Nemeth and UEB (and possibly Unified French Braille) math
and
Essentially convert it to print math.

This can also be done with brf braille math files.

Producing Ink print Mathematics from Braille Math for NEMETH, UEB Math, and
Unified French Braille Math;
Translating mathematics braille to ink print allows a blind student to
prepare homework for a sighted teacher.

In addition, The Duxbury Braille Translator already supports many languages
braille math codes for print to braille translation.

Hi Susan,

Happy to talk with you about the technical side of this, hosting, etc.

Let's set up a call and then we can update the list on any developments?

Take care,

Can the code for backtranslating Nemeth to MathML be posted
on GitHub so that other people can look at it and possibly
help to improve it?

Regards,

David

students, especially those in middle and senior high school in basic to
advanced courses. We want to encourage our students to use electronica
devices when possible so they may interact with their teachers and peers
with less lag time. I am especially thinking of those students who will not
be going on to pursue careers in STEM fields and thus be less likely to
dedicate themselves to learning MathML and other languages to produce and
access their work. Certainly others working at higher level math may be
interested, but this type of application I can see being immediately useful
to pre college students. Should you have a beta version, contact me
directly.
