In this video, Dr. Denise M. Robinson demonstrates how to use the WORD Math Editor and Braille Math Editor with UEB and NVDA. The tutorial is specifically designed for screen reader users, with or without braille displays, who want to improve their math skills.
First, Dr. Robinson introduces the essential tools needed for using matrices in WORD using UEB Math. These include NVDA though Jaws can be used, a Braille display (if desired), and the WORD Math Editor. She carefully explains how to set up each tool to work seamlessly together. This setup is crucial for creating and editing math content efficiently.
Next, Dr. Robinson focuses on creating matrices using LaTeX. She walks viewers through each step, making it easy to follow along. The video shows how to enter rows and columns in a matrix, helping users understand the structure of matrices. Dr. Robinson’s clear explanations ensure that even complex steps are understandable.
The video then demonstrates how to use auditory feedback with the math editors. Dr. Robinson shows how users can hear the math content they are working on. This feature helps in catching mistakes and ensuring accuracy. Additionally, she explains how to switch between auditory and Braille feedback. This flexibility is particularly useful for different learning styles and preferences.
Dr. Robinson also covers how to navigate through the matrix using a Braille display if desired. She offers practical tips on reading and editing the content efficiently. This section is especially beneficial for those who rely on Braille for their work.
Finally, the video concludes with a summary of the key points. Dr. Robinson encourages viewers to practice the tools and techniques demonstrated in the video. By the end, users will feel more confident in their ability to create and edit math content using JAWS and the WORD Math Editor
