Hello everyone,
First, thank you to everyone who responded to my messages concerning Active
Sync and my modem issues both on and off list. I have an Imation FlashGo
2.0 flash card reader/writer, and now I can transfer files to and from my
BrailleNote and computer with no problems at all. I still haven't solved
the modem problem, but I have a more urgent need for your assistance.<smile>
Currently, I am taking a college math course towards my degree in
computer network systems. It is a course using algebra, geometry, and
trigonometry. I am experiencing difficulties when I complete homework
assignments or tests on the BrailleNote and printing them in ink print for
my instructor. The course is only ten weeks long, so I have someone
transcribing work for me from the printed book into Braille because I don't
have the resources to get the entire book transcribed. At any rate, my
problem is how I can produce meaningful work for my instructor without
having to retype all my information from the BrailleNote by hand into
Microsoft Word.
I use Nemeth code to enter all of my numbers, and to try to make
sure the letters of variables print properly, I use the Braille letter sign
before each letter so as not to confuse the BrailleNote with any grade 2
contractions. However, when I try to bring in the file into Duxbury as a
key braille document, of course it thinks it's "another word processor
file." I tried renaming the keyword file as a BRF file, and Duxbury
wouldn't import it, the file was listed in Duxbury itself, but no text came
through at all.
If I write in computer Braille, will I be able to write the math in
my BrailleNote and import it properly into Word or Duxbury? I am using
Duxbury version 10.4 and Keysoft version 5.0 on the BrailleNote.
I read that the BrailleNote uses Duxbury as its translator, if that
is the case, is there a way I can make this math stuff work properly for me
and my instructor to get printed copies? This inputting my tests into the
BrailleNote, and then having to type them in by hand is both unproductive
and time consuming!!
If you wish, you may respond off list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks!!!!
Beth
