Regarding Word to braille production with MathKicker files, this has been working well for me. I haven't been using this heavily, but every time I've tested it over the last year or so, it's worked well. When I originally reviewed MathKicker in February of last year, the Word documents read great with JAWS in Word, but they were a mess when you brought the Word files into Duxbury. About a month or so after that, the Word files started translating really nicely in Duxbury. You still need to do some formatting to get the braille just right, but the Nemeth output looks good. I'd be curious to see how it handles really complex content.

I still haven't had any luck reading their HTML files with a screen reader. I emailed them about that in September, but it looks like it still hasn't been resolved.
