>WESTFORD, Mass. and LONG BEACH, Calif. - June 23, 2008 - Duxbury
>Systems, Inc. and Design Science, Inc. today announced the availability
>of Duxbury Braille Translator (DBT) version 10.7 with support for direct
>import of Microsoft Word documents containing mathematical equations
>created with MathType. This improvement will allow users to author math
>with MathType in MS Word and then translate those materials to braille
>via DBT for Windows.
>
>The creation of brailled math materials has historically been a very
>slow and complex process, but has been made easier in recent years
>thanks to automated tools like DBT. Access to brailled math materials is
>a critical factor for blind students and professionals in the science
>and engineering fields. DBT WIN 10.7 will significantly improve the
>speed and ease of math braille creation.
>
>"This is huge! Through an intensive collaboration with Design Science,
>users of MathType versions 5 and 6, with Microsoft Word can now author
>their math and translate to braille using DBT WIN," said Neal Kuniansky,
>Director of Marketing & Sales at Duxbury Systems. "This will work with
>all braille math codes supported by DBT WIN. We are very proud to help
>make math braille available to an even wider number of DBT WIN users."
>
>"We're thrilled to see companies like Duxbury make braille math creation
>easier for the end user. Since so many authors of math content are using
>MathType to write math materials these days, making it easy to translate
>these resources will be a great boon to students and professionals who
>need brailled math," said Steve Noble, Director of Accessibility Policy
>for Design Science.
