Going from Scientific Notebook to Duxbury does a very good job of
translating math to Nemeth. BUT as far as I've ever been able to find out,
there's no way to scan math. The words can be scanned, but the math all has
to be hand-typed in. Then, once it's translated, it has to be gone over (for
formatting, especially) by someone who knows Nemeth.
And Scientific Notebook gives JAWS fits (at least, it does for me). It's
a "need-sighted-typist" sort of thing.
I wish you lots of luck!

Subject: [duxuser] Transcribing Calculus Problems
Hello All:
I have a question for you all. We have a client that is going to be
starting a Calculus class on January 3, 2008. He needs his homework
problems transcribed into Braille and we have received several of the
proboems in hard copy.
What I need to know is, what is the best way to get these problems
scanned in, then translated to Nemeth code Braille? Again, these are
equations with limits, integrals, and other formulas that we need to
translate. Does anyone have any ideas on both scanning these in and
getting them translated properly? Is this something that, for example,
Kurzweil 1000 and Duxbury could handle?
Any help is appreciated; we need an answer pretty soon as the class
starts January 3. Thanks in advance.
