[BlindMath] accessible Nemeth

[Larry Skutchan]

In addition to the excellent approaches Shannon outlines in her blog, the BrailleBlaster Transcription package is a good candidate for getting math textbook material to students.
It includes an ASCII math and graphical editing facility that can use Nemeth, and you can export to a BRF file the student can read from nearly any editor. Of course, if you translate the file, the student needs to turn off translation in VO which they can easily do.
BrailleBlaster is free. You can get more information at https://brailleblaster.org

I am looking for some help.  We have the virus in our area, so I am no longer able to drop off hard copy braille for an Algebra 1 braille reader.
We are a state that uses the Nemeth code.  I am looking for a way to make digital math accessible on the devices he currently has at home.  He has an iPhone, iPad, and a refreshable braille display.  I am not able to purchase any new equipment at this time since our schools are closed.  These are his preferred devices.  I have tried to create microsoft word documents and google docs using math type.  When we facetime, he says that it does not read correctly.  Any suggestions.  Thanks Dawn
