[Njtechdiv] Early attempt at a UEB table for NFBtrans

[Kiran]

Dear All,

I am writing this mail from India, I am a developer and have been working on various aspects of education for visually impaired people. I follow many mailing lists and update myself silently. I read a lot about many latest developments happening especially concerning the education for the VI community.

I just happened to read a long document concerning the UEB and guidelines for making maths and science accessible. I seek permission from the list owner to freely express my thoughts on this subject. 

I need freedom to express that as per my understanding I am against the way guidelines are set for converting everything into Braille equivalent for eg. 

1                                     
       12   + 34 is to be written as 

##
#a        
ab "6     
cd       
"33

According to me this is the most complex method of understanding / studying. I have a more better approach towards doing this. I presume that there is this necessity to convert everything into the 8 dots of the existing Braille cell and hence this approach. 

I am aware that most of the audience shall discard this opinion and be calling me a fool but if the owner / moderator allows me to speak I shall want to present a more simple approach. 

Kindly focus on my assumption of the limitations in the 8 dot cell and thus the UEB approach in making all in constraints of 8 cell. I hope that I shall be given an opportunity to speak / present my thoughts in the interest of development. 




Warm Regards,

Kiran S Deshpande
