>Westford, MA and Long Beach, CA June 23rd,
>2008 Duxbury Systems, Inc. and Design Science,
>Inc. announce the availability of Duxbury
>Braille Translator™ 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.
