UEB and Nemeth codes. The majority of literary content will utilize UEB while
scientific notation or mathematical content will continue to use the Nemeth
code. In 2013, the BrailleNote Apex was the first device to support Nemeth
braille to print translation, allowing a student using an Apex to type their math
content within a document on the BrailleNote, and provide a readable print
copy of that content to their classroom teacher. In addition to this
functionality, students could access a Nemeth Symbol Selector to provide
them the same learning experience as those who had used the UEB Symbol
Selector to learn UEB. Because of this "real time" Nemeth to print translation,
teachers of the visually impaired (TVI's) no longer needed to hand write the
print math translation over the braille hard copy, as the student could turn in
the print version of their assignment themselves. For users who reside in a
country which uses UEB for math content, HumanWare provided a free
update in 2015 which ensures the BrailleNote Apex also supports UEB math
to print conversion. UEB math symbols are included in the Symbol Selector
for quick student reference, and the combination of Nemeth and UEB in the
same document is supported as well.
