<span style="font-size: 11pt;">I am trying to figure out the best way to create chemical bond structures for a blind student. In the past I have been enlarging a photo like the one below, putting it through my toaster/tactile machine, and cutting and gluing
Braille labels in place of the text. I feel like there is a better way to do this. I have Duxbury so I have heard there is a way to do it on there (currently looking up manuals) but I wanted to see how other schools convert something like this:</span></p>
