There is a list of "gotchas" in LaTeX to Duxbury conversion at
http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/yasuhara/tmp/dss/latex/

We haven't experimented with version 10.6 yet, so don't know how many of these issues have been addressed.

I am *not* a LaTeX expert. I did not compile the referenced information, but we've found it useful for LaTeX-savvy helpers who are editing math material to be embossed via Duxbury.

Hi,

As already suggested, the InftyProject's OCR works quite fine, however, some LaTeX commands will not be imported in DBT, although the LaTeX file opens in SN. Unfortunately the only way to find out whether it's going to work, is to try, since there isn't a table available to specify which LaTeX commands will be imported without an error in DBT.

Good luck,
Theodor

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.


   Thanks,
