Thank you for taking the time to respond. Just to let you know, when DBT
translated it from Scientific Notebook it used the # sign hour, then dot
5 dot 2, # minutes. I see now it should be dots 456, 25 after the hour.
I do have it set to English American template. Don't know if I put it
in incorrectly in Scientific Notebook. I'll check again.

Hello Becky.
If you are transcribing the math problems in Nemeth Code, that includes
brailling the time in Nemeth Code. So the digits are in the lower
position. There is a number sign at the start of the time and after the
colon; the colon is dots 456, 25.
If you have brought the material into DBT from Scientific Notebook with
an English (American) template, then it is automatically set for Nemeth
Code, which is appropriate.
Sincerely,

Good Afternoon and Happy Friday!
Could I get some help with transcribing time?
I have a math problem which states arriving at 8:00 am and leaving at
11:00 am.
1. Do I use nemeth code to state the time?
2. Is the colon between hour and minute different in nemeth than
literary?
I don't see this addressed in the Nemeth Manual, and when I use
Scientific Notebook and Duxbury to transcribe I get a different
translation than what is stated in the Literary Instruction Manual.
Thanks for any help.
