Braille Math Translation Made Easy with the Tiger Software Suite
October 23, 2008 Corvallis Oregon -ViewPlus Technologies and Design Science
announced today the release of a new update to the ViewPlus Tiger Software Suite
4 (TSS) for braille math support within Microsoft Word. The new version TSS 4.1
works with Design Science's MathType version 5.0 or higher, allowing users
to create mathematical equations within MathType and translate to braille with
one touch.
The collaboration between ViewPlus and Design Science has provided users with a
new option for creating custom math documents. Users who prefer to create
documents within MS Word can insert equations from MathType, add desired text
and graphics, and translate to braille in one easy step. Equations will appear
in both braille and ink allowing sighted readers to follow along. The documents
can then be embossed using a Tiger embosser for high resolution tactile
output.

"TSS is another example of the fruitful cooperation between Design Science and
ViewPlus. TSS makes authoring and reading documents that contain math easier
than ever. Math is taught everyday in every school, and using MathType and TSS
makes it easy for teachers to provide access to materials for everyone in
the classroom, whether they are sighted or not," said Neil Soiffer, Senior
Scientist at Design Science.
The Tiger Software Suite currently outputs to Nemeth and LaTeX, and additional
math codes will be available in 2009. The braille math translator within
TSS is a free update for current 4.0 users.
