Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Current Braille editor displays printed characters corresponding to Braille characters. However, for mathematical formulae, there is no practical system which displays mathematical symbols corresponding to Braille characters, so users must translate mathematical formulae viewing Braille characters. We are developing Braille translate system for mathematical documents and have reported at [5]. This system consists of mathematical document reader, mathematical Braille translator and mathematical Braille editor. The Braille editor can display mathematical symbols corresponding to Braille characters. In this report, we present new interface and new functions of our Braille translator to translate document structure. Using the interface, users mark up document structure in a document. After that, our Braille translator generates Braille document inserting spaces and Braille symbols corresponding to the document structure.
