I would recommend that you visit the following Websites to see if what they
have to offer will meet your needs:

Science Access Project Homepage
Oregon State University
John Gardner, Director
Website: http://dots.physics.orst.edu/
Goal: "to enhance the ability of people with print disabilities to read,
write, and manipulate information...concentrates on information that has
traditionally been difficult for people with severe print disabilities. This
includes math equations, information normally presented in tables and
graphs, and information presented in diagrams and figures that is often
nearly impossible to describe in words."


VISIONS Lab Home Page at Purdue University
David Schleppenbach, Director
Website: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/facilities/sightlab/index.html
software program that can translate mathematical and scientific equations
into a format
appropriate for blind students, used in conjunction with Duxbury braille
translation software; many more projects in the works.
