[nfbcs] One Quick Question: Writing Math and Calculus Symbols on the PC

[Jim Fettgather]

Hello, I really appreciated the information regarding MathType, its 30 day trial version installed without a problem.
My one and only question is, under which menu, or which menu do you need to activate, to start writing your equation?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, and thanks.

Hello,

One way to write mathematics is to use Microsoft Word with the MathType application "http://www.wiris.com/en".

You might also need MathPlayer
"http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/download.htm".

Traditionally NVDA worked best with these tools; however, JAWS have improved its mathematical capability.

Hello to the list.
I am working with a student using a Braille Display and Jaws, and we have looked at the Math ML examples provided within the Jaws Help Topic.

So, the question, would there be a way to enter these advanced mathematical symbols from a standard computer keyboard, or, would it be more logical to use a program like Excel to generate these mathematical symbols?
Thanks for any thoughts.
