I wish I knew more about this subject ..but I have been trying to pick up
some information along the way......
Some WWW. sites that discuss the development of Nemeth code and
computers/Braille........

Using MegaDots to Produce Nemeth Braille: Present and Future..taken from
Closing the Gap conference details....
Computerized Braille production is most difficult to achieve for math. The
MegaDots Braille translator for PC compatibles has current features to help
produce Braille in Nemeth Code (Braille math code), and a full-featured
math add-on is close. The presenters will demonstrate using MegaDots
effectively to produce Nemeth Code, with samples from arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, etc. They will show progress on the MegaDots math module,
inputting material in several ways, using sighted-oriented screen features
and blind-oriented voice features, translating from print to Braille and
Braille to print, printing in Braille and inkprint, and importing material
from TeX files. Workshop does not require technical background.
