I use Scientific Notebook to enter the math in print and then translate with
Duxbury.

Subject: [duxuser] Nemeth and Duxbury
Hello, everyone. I am trying to produce Braille documents (workbooks) that
are math and science using the Duxbury 10.7 software and a Juliet Pro60
embosser. I am VERY new to all of this, and my Nemeth skills are shaky at
best.
What is the best way to start? The teachers I'm working with want me to do
the "math part", in other words, enter all the numbers with six-key entry after
the document has been translated into Braille, and do the formatting later. It
seems to me that this won't work, as there is no way I know of to go back to
print once a document has been translated. They feel it is necessary to check
my math work and would like to do it before they leave for the summer break. I
have several books that need to be done, and I see no possible way that this
task can be accomplished as they have laid it out.
How much of the actual math should the Duxbury program be able to translate
without my having to do six-key entry? Many people I've spoken with about this
so far are saying that Duxbury does not translate Nemeth very well.
Any advice anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I want to do the
best possible job for our student in the most efficient manner possible, I'm
just not sure how to begin.
