For Immediate Release
Duxbury Braille Translator Adds Enhanced Math Support
New version streamlines braille math translation from Microsoft Word
documents created with MathType
Westford, MA and Long Beach, CA - June 23rd, 2008 - Duxbury Systems, Inc.
and Design Science, Inc. announce the availability of Duxbury Braille
TranslatorT version 10.7 with support for direct import of Microsoft Word
documents containing mathematical equations created with MathTypeT. This
improvement will allow users to author math with MathType in MS Word and
then translate those materials to braille via DBT for Windows.
The creation of brailled math materials has historically been a very slow
and complex process, but has been made easier in recent years thanks to
automated tools like DBT. Access to brailled math materials is a critical
factor for blind students and professionals in the science and engineering
fields. DBT WIN 10.7 will significantly improve the speed and ease of math
braille creation.
"This is huge! Through an intensive collaboration with Design Science, users
of MathType versions 5 and 6, with Microsoft Word can now author their math
and translate to braille using DBT WIN," said Neal Kuniansky, Director of
Marketing & Sales at Duxbury Systems. "This will work with all braille math
codes supported by DBT WIN. We are very proud to help make math braille
available to an even wider number of DBT WIN users."
"We're thrilled to see companies like Duxbury make braille math creation
easier for the end user. Since so many authors of math content are using
MathType to write math materials these days, making it easy to translate
these resources will be a great boon to students and professionals who need
brailled math," said Steve Noble, Director of Accessibility Policy for
Design Science.
