Davey, Would the Math Kitchen software be helpful? ### BRETT WINCHESTER bwinchester@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 208-639-8386 ### -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Davey Hulse Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 2:08 PM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: Transcribing Calculus Problems We haven't found scanning software that would do the job yet, and I've looked really hard because it would save us so much time and cut the costs to customers. And, even if one could get the symbols to come in well, no software is going to make the kinds of judgments that are necessary for the calc problems when they are flopped to Braille. It's hand entry of the text to a great extent and careful editing on the Braille side by someone who knows Nemeth and calc. Davey Hulse, CEO Braille Plus, Inc. P.O.

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.
