TSBVI Tech Tea Time: The Equalize Editor - Online Accessible Braille Math
Hosted via Zoom on September 19, 2024



The Equalize Editor allows braille users to create documents using UEB contracted text and Nemeth braille math. It supports file I/O, Google Drive integration, clipboard cut/paste, and document export to HTML, PDF, and BRF formats. Its accessible user interface gives sighted and braille users equal access to online math content. The Equalize Editor enables braille math students to interact with sighted math teachers who do not understand braille, nor the specialized braille codes used by the visually impaired. The Equalize Editor combines a visual math editor with support for braille codes for literary text (UEB Literary) and math formulas (Nemeth). It allows both sighted and braille users to create text with embedded math, either using visual keyboard commands and math symbol buttons, or using braille equivalents of these commands and math operations taken from the relevant braille standards.These capabilities allow the Equalize Editor to include both sighted and visually-impaired users in the authoring process, including writing, reading, editing, and communicating technical documents, and provides a needed resource for making textbooks and other materials available to braille students.
