You mentioned that you are doing math worksheets so I'm assuming you know
when it is appropriate to use Nemeth vs. literary code. Duxbury can import
files created with MathType and Scientific Notebook, but I'm not sure those
particular programs work for a blind user using a screen reader. But files
created with these programs can be imported and work pretty well with some
intervention from the transcriber. In addition, it is possible to enter
codes "tcs" and "tce" for technical context and "tn" and "te" for technical
context. If you go to the "layout' menu and then "math codes" you can find
them listed. You can turn code viewing on and off with alt-f3.
Any math text you want in Nemeth must be inside special brackets. Please
note that you do not use the quotation marks but instead the brackets. This
is done using the control-left bracket and then typing in the codes. I am a
retired VI teacher and do not use Duxbury everyday, but I do have a demo on
my computer just so I can still help my former colleagues (vi teacher and
assistant) out at work. So, if you have further questions or could benefit
from talking with me directly, I would be glad to assist. I am a totally
blind JAWS user so I can speak from having used Duxbury with a screen
reader.

Subject: [duxuser] nemeth with Duxbury
I am a TVI and I have a para who is blind. She is just beginning to use
Duxbury and the Romeo pro 60. She brailled a math sheet and it came out
fine except one place it brailled in literary braille rather than nemeth
code and wrote the word equals instead of the sign. Is this fairly common?
Is there a way to force it into nemeth code?
