Are any of you using MathType in Microsoft Word. The software is very cheap, we
got additional discounts for purchasing several licenses We enter the problems
in Word with MathType open beside it. The drop-down entry window allows you to
write in difficult equations. After you finish the Word document you just save
it and open it in Duxbury for the Nemeth/UEB translation.
There are some excellent tutorials on YouTube.
If you are going to google the best tutorials are for Mathtype not Duxbury.

I agree. My students are not learning UEB this year, as I systematically taught
it to them last year.
Now, having taught them that, when I bring a math doc into UEB, it does not
have translate the math correctly.
So now they are reading UEB for literary, and pre-UEB for docs with Nemith.
I have people who are doing the production, who do not know braille, so they
are assuming this is all coming out correctly, which it is not, so I need to
know which translation/template/whatever it is called, to open it in, where I
can be confident the students are getting correct Nemith. Here's to a fun
school year:)

You want the message from BANA or what's best for the student? LOL
All kidding aside, many agencies are requesting Nemeth before the change and
incorporating UEB. So, it's contracted UEB with contracted Nemeth.
BANA Guidelines are extremely challenging for the pre-UEB reader since they
wish to incorporate code switches and Nemeth in grade 1.
I recommend a gradual change because students should not be concerned with
legibility in a math class. Learning the braille should be in braille class. If
you have the opportunity to tweak for each student's needs, that's awesome.
Just my two cents.
Are any of you using MathType or are you doing direct entry? MathType has a
student rate that is very cheap, they also gave us a break for purchasing
several liscences. You can usually put your license on a PC and a laptop.
The drop down hand written entry window is easy for difficult equation.
We do our entries in a word document with MathType open beside it. We save the
word document and open it in Duxbury.

Sorry I know this has been asked but here I go:
I have a doc with math equations which I open in Duxbury. Should I be using PRE
UEB, or UEB with Nemith? When I open the doc in UEB with Nemith, all of the
numbers are in literary format.
My students are using UEB but for math docs I have been opening them in PRE UEB
and it reads the math type correctly.
I guess our students will be very versatile...they seem to have to know all the
braille pre-post-during-in-between....
