Math OCR has been a struggle for years. Mainstream OCR companies have not
solved the problem of getting accurate and useful math out of scanned
documents. I believe this is not only due to the fact that most of their
customers are not worrying about math, but also because of the different
methods used to write and display equations. The only solution we've found
is the InftyReader software. http://www.inftyproject.org/en/index.html -- It will save into LaTeX format, which allows for import into Duxbury. This
is the same format that Scientific Notebook uses.
It's quirky, but InftyReader can definitely help, esp. with upper level math texts. If you're doing a lot of math, it's worth climbing the learning curve.

I use the Scientific Notation program for Algebra too, and it's working very well, saving to Duxbury then translating to Braille. However, I can't find a way to scan a page and save it to Sci. Not. If anyone knows how to do that, it would save me some time. (Although I know it won't scan a lot of the math properly, but it could do the text so I don't have to type so much.) Maybe Susan could help with that too.
