Thanks, George, I will look at this. I suppose my specific question is ‘does it
look correct in braille?’ I used the mathtype to enter it the other day and
brought it into Duxbury but then I did not know if the symbols were correct.
Are there Chemistry transcribers on this list who can contact me and let me
know? I will look at the manuals. They usually make me giddy with rules for do
and don’t but I will try…thanks

Hi Maureen,
I’m not going to surprise you with an immediate solution, but suffice to say I
believe I may be making a modicum of progress.
First, can I ask you to look at
http://www.iceb.org/guidelines_for_technical_material_2014.pdf specifically ;
Section 16.6 Electrons.
I know this refers to UEB as opposed to Nemeth, but while it visually looks
like Lewis Dots, it does not actually mention those words. Is this in fact
what you want?
Now, as regards MathType, I have contacted my wizard, who knows what they are,
and he has come back with the following:
I know enough about Lewis Dots to know MathType does a pretty decent job of
creating them for sighted users. Here are some I've created (not only dots, but
bonds as well):

Please don’t try to bring this into DBT and expect a miracle.

Thanks, I can produce it as a tactile, but if there is a simple braille code,
that the student will see over and over again as they progress through
academics, I wanted to use it, and it is simpler for my ‘producers’ to do it in
math type, and then bring it into duxxbury if possible

Three schools of thought: I have always used tactile graphics with Lewis
Structures personally. There's also a guidance for using UEB with Science as
well as the Chemistry Code from 1997 in EBAE and Nemeth.
I don't know if I can attach the documents in our listserv. Here are the
websites with the pdfs.
EBAE examples here:

Do you have a copy of the Braille Code for Chemical Notation? It is available
online, and I find most of the answers I need for Chemistry there.

How so I represent a Lewis Dot Symbol? Do I enter it into Math type as an ‘over
script’ and then use a dot(which one??) to represent the number of dots?
