If you don't get an answer here you might try our BlindMath list, http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindmath_nfbnet.org 
for an answer. I know they know there -- as this has come up.

The archives is at http://www.nfbnet.org/pipermail/blindmath_nfbnet.org

Our search is broken but if you put blindmath and nfbnet.org as part of your search terms, you should find something that way.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Transcribing high school math

Greetings! 
When I produce math materials in braille, I enter it in Nemeth or UEB code by hand using Duxbury. I currently need to train others who do not know braille how to prepare math using a computer for braille transcription. 

Would you please recommend either a program or an available tutorial that would help expedite their learning process and be more mainstream for those who do not know braille? For example, I know you can enter math equations using features within Microsoft word. Does anybody know of a tutorial for this feature? 

Yes, I know that it is better to have people such as ourselves preparing equations for transcription, but it is not an option available to me as school systems do not always hire people with such qualifications. 

Here comes my usual disclaimer: answering on list may be a help to many other people as well as to myself, but if you prefer, you are welcome to contact me off list.

Thank you, 
Janet
