NUBS

Look here for an introduction to NUBS, the latest version of the Nemeth code. NUBS is much simpler than the UEB and more consistent. NUBS has all the advantages of the UEB but with none of the disadvantages.

Back-translating Nemeth math

Look here for information about BackNem and find out how you can help test this new, free software for back-translating Nemeth braille to print math.

Computer braille

This article about computer braille was written for a parent in Holland where some students use computer braille rather than braille codes. The article explains the difference between computer braille and braille codes and why a braille user needs both. It also includes some history of the development of both ASCII Braille and computer braille and explains the relationship between ASCII Braille and computer braille.

UEBC

This negative review of the UEBC was written before the NFB and ACB voted resoundingly to oppose adoption of the UEBC in the United States.
