Can't recall if it would matter if you were set to "text" rather than
"math" on the toolbar when you input your original document. I know it makes a
difference in question marks and periods - at times I want the literary
representation, not the Nemeth one for those characters, even within a math
word problem, and I have to be careful how I've set up my input.

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.
