[Blindmath] LaTeX to Braille

[Jose Tamayo]

Hi,

If the student knows Nemeth Braille, then they can use Duxburry to translate
to Nemeth.  The Tiger Software Suite can also convert from MathType to
Nemeth Braille if the documents and assignments have been prepared in MS
Word using the latest MathType version.  Keep in mind that the  University
will have to purchase one or more of the software packages I have mentioned.

Tiger Software Suite ships with any printer that ViewPlus sells.  you may
also purchase Tiger Software suite separately.

MathType is developed by Design Sciences and can be used to prepare and
later convert asignments using Tiger Software Suite or any software package
that handles MathType.


Duxburry Translator is developed by Duxburry Systems.

Jose Tamayo

HI Calvin,

Firstly, thank you very much for being proactive and helping your student
access materials this far ahead of the start of the school year. I, and I'm
sure many others on this list, were left on our own to find materials, so
your question is both refreshing and encouraging.

To be of some assistance to you, does the student have access to the Duxbury
Braille Translator? Opening LaTeX files in Duxbury, translating them to
Braille (brf format) produces reliable math Braille. That might not be the
only way, but I hope it helps somewhat. 

sincerely,
Sarah Jevnikar

Dear all,

does anyone know of a means of converting tex (LaTeX) files into a braille
output? A blind student will be joining the University soon to study
Mathematics and I need a means of ensuring access to our materials for them.


Many thanks in advance.

Best,

Calvin
