[accessibleimage] Re: New to Tactile Graphics

Hello Bret, if you are getting a Tiger embosser, you'll get TSS with it.
TSS has a good braille translator application that lets you translate
everything in MS Word, including math, and in Excel, including Excel charts
and graphics.  And you can print graphics from any standard application.  
 
Duxbury also supports math braille from MS Word I believe, so it is no
longer necessary to use Scientific Notebook.

Subject: [accessibleimage] New to Tactile Graphics


Hi All,
  I am a Braille Transcriber with a school district, and am visually
impaired.  One of our students is going to be taking an algebra/geometry
class next year. We will be required to create all of the charts, graphs,
and other graphics for the class.  I am using Duxbury as my translation
software and am using a program called Scientific NoteBook to create all of
the mathematical text.  I was told that there is a program that works with
Duxbury called TGD Pro which allows you to copy an image and then import it
into a duxbury file.  Does anyone have any good ideas or suggestions for me
on the best way to create a tactile graphic electronically?  I have limited
sight, so being able to draw or create things by hand may be out of the
question.  Our district will be getting one of the new Tiger braille
embossers so I think I can create tables and charts with excel and then
emboss them.  Thanks for any suggestions or advice.
Bret
