InftyEditor simplifies writing Braille mathematics by acting as a visual, keyboard-driven editor that eliminates the need to manually punch or remember complex Braille math cells. Instead, you type math formulas using intuitive keyboard shortcuts or standard LaTeX commands, and the software automatically converts them into human-readable Braille formats.
Below is the step-by-step workflow for creating Braille mathematics using InftyEditor. 1. Configure the Document Settings
Before typing, ensure your target output language and Braille configurations are correct: Open a new document in InftyEditor.
Ensure your text language profile matches your destination braille table (e.g., UBC / Unified Braille Codes for English text or Japanese Braille for Japanese text). 2. Inputting Mathematics Efficiently
InftyEditor uses a “Home Position” entry system, meaning you can type intricate math without using a mouse.
Enter Math Mode: Press the Space bar or a designated toggle to switch the cursor from plain text to math input mode.
Use LaTeX Shortcuts: If you know LaTeX commands, you can type them directly. InftyEditor will instantly render them into professional print notation on your screen (WYSIWYG).
Example: Typing rac followed by your parameters creates a clean fraction.
Use Menu Shortcuts: If you don’t know LaTeX, use the built-in drop-down menus or the structured keyboard list to pick mathematical structures (fractions, square roots, matrices, integrals). 3. Reviewing with Assistive Tech
