K-12 mathematics
Arithmetic, algebra, geometry, pre-calc — including worksheets, tests, and full textbooks. Multi-volume splitting handled automatically.
Math & STEM Braille
Nemeth math braille & UEB Technical transcription
Math, science, and technical content transcribed by a certified braille transcriber. Choose Nemeth Code with UEB context, or fully UEB Technical — your call, per book.
Math content we transcribe
From a single worksheet to a multi-volume calculus textbook, we handle the math, the formatting, and the tactile review.
Higher mathematics
Calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, abstract algebra, real analysis — transcribed with the precision required at the college level.
Physics & chemistry
Chemistry formulas, balanced equations, physics derivations, lab manuals, and assessments — full STEM coverage.
Statistics & data
Summation notation, probability, statistical formulas, and data-heavy materials — including the tactile graphics that go with them.
Codes we support
- UEB with Nemeth — UEB literary text with Nemeth Code math. The most common choice for U.S. K–12 STEM classrooms.
- UEB Technical — fully UEB math notation. Growing in adoption in higher education and some districts.
- Pure Nemeth — for legacy materials or districts still on a Nemeth-only standard.
- Mixed-mode documents — text that switches between literary, math, and chemistry contexts handled cleanly.
Why math braille is different
Math braille isn't just literary braille with numbers — it's a separate code with its own grammar. A single missed indicator can turn a fraction into a different expression, change the meaning of a subscript, or break the structure of a complex equation. That's why our math projects go through a second-pass review focused specifically on technical accuracy: every fraction, exponent, radical, and operator is verified before the file leaves.
And because math braille often involves long stacked equations, careful formatting matters as much as the code itself. We handle indentation, alignment, and line breaks the way a braille reader expects — not the way a print-to-braille converter would do it naively.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nemeth Code?
The braille code used in the United States for mathematical and scientific notation — fractions, exponents, integrals, chemistry, and more. Usually used in 'UEB with Nemeth' mode, where the surrounding text is UEB literary braille and the math drops into Nemeth.
Nemeth vs. UEB Technical — which do I need?
Most U.S. K–12 students learn UEB with Nemeth, since Nemeth is the historical and still-dominant math code in American classrooms. UEB Technical is gaining ground in higher education and some districts. If you're unsure, ask the student's TVI which code is on their IEP — we transcribe both.
Can you transcribe chemistry and physics?
Yes — chemistry formulas, physics equations, statistics notation, calculus, linear algebra, and more, in either Nemeth or UEB Technical.
Do you transcribe whole math textbooks?
Yes. Multi-volume textbooks are split automatically based on the page-count bounds you specify, with title pages, T-pages, and contents handled. Each volume is reviewed for tactile readability before delivery.
