[Athen] Athen Digest, Vol 20, Issue 4

John,
Where can I get the tool?  I am really interested in testing how well it
would work translating from any MathML /LaTex docs.  That would be helpful
for communication between sighted and non-sighted, each creating and
rendering content in the tools they use.

Hi Ron, I haven't used this application, but I know that it uses the
liblouisxml braille translator that John Boyer has written.  ViewPlus is the
major sponsor of that open source project and is currently working on
debugging.  The literary braille and Nemeth math are both fairly good right
now.  I know it can input both XHTML and DAISY
 with math in MathML.  Greg Kerney is very approachable if you have
questions about the UI parts.
 
John

That is correct and this is the one that I found as well.  Anyone used it?

As I recall, Duxbury no longer supports a Mac product, and to the best of my
knowledge, the new program released by Greg Kearney may be your best bet for
the Mac. It's also free, which is nice. See below. The ATMac Website has
some good tips on Mac access:

Good luck!
