[nabs-l] NemeText Math Software

[Humberto Avila]

Hello Arielle,

Where can I obtain this piece of software? Is it free of charge? I see alink
there, but that's the user guide.

Arielle,

I've got the feeling that it would be worth getting the word out on this
one!

Uses of Nemetex
Nemetex Nemeth Back-Translator affords an easy way to print Nemeth Braille
Math that was typed on an electronic Braille notetaker and print it in plain
typeset such that parents, teachers or peers of visually-impaired
mathematicians could read it.  Without AccessiSoft's Nemetex Nemeth
Back-Translator, someone, typically a Braille Transcriber, must
painstakingly inter-line every piece of math homework, project, paper, or
test created in Nemeth.  The Nemetex Nemeth Back-Translator uses a unique
process to examine the content, identify it as either Nemeth or normal text,
and convert it into LaTeX so it can be read by any standard LaTeX-based
editing program, such as TeXnicCenter.  The resulting file could, depending
on the LaTeX program in use, then be hard-copy printed in normal printed
math or saved to a Portable Document Format (PDF) file for electronic
transfer via e-mail or posting/sharing with sighted users.

Nemetex Nemeth Back-Translator Version 2.3.2 includes all mathematics
through Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry and pre-Statistics and
pre-Calculus, so it will accommodate the math work of students from the
elementary through the high school level.  The Nemetex Nemeth
Back-Translator is also fully-compatible with JAWS for Windows and
Window-Eyesä screen readers so that visually-impaired authors of math can
use it by themselves or with the help of a sighted transcriber.  Key
benefits include:

·        Runs on Windows-based PCs tested through Windows 7 (no MAC version
available);
·        Screen-readable by JAWS for Windows and Window-Eyes;
·        Runs on any Java-compatible PC;
·        Outputs in LaTeX so that files can be subsequently opened in or
imported into any standard LaTeX-based  publishing/editing software;
·        Converts a mix of Nemeth Braille Math and regular text in the same
file;
·        Works with various types of six-key entry-capable Braille
Notetakers;
·        Effectively handles various types of spatial mathematics such as
matrices and multi-line comparisons; and
·        Identifies most common input Braille errors and provides a summary
of errors which can be saved as a separate file.

Hi Tim,
Nemetex didn't exist when I was in AP calculus. What kind of Braille
device did she use with the software? Did she print directly from this
Braille device or use a computer interface?
I'm done with math now (except for stats) but would like to recommend
it to other students if it was a good program.
