A. Software Packages 

 

Tiger Software Suite (TSS)

 

The  ViewPlus  Tiger  Software  Suite  (TSS)  is  the  complete  solution  for  producing  Braille  and  tactile 
graphics  by  harnessing  the  full  power  of  MS  Word  and  Excel.  The  press  of  a  button  automatically 
converts and formats documents that were originally created for an ink printer. 

Additionally, the Tiger Software Suite offers tools to ease creation and editing of tactile graphics. 

 

MathType by Design Science 

MathType  is  an  Add-in  editor  in  MS  Word  for  math  equations.  Equations  can  be  entered  using 
MathType editor and directly translated to LaTeX, Nemeth, or other Braille math using the ViewPlus 
Tiger Software Suite. 

 

Audio Graphing Calculator (AGC)

 

The  ViewPlus  Audio  Graphing  Calculator  (AGC)  is  a  self-voicing  Windows  application that  provides 
access to scientific calculation and graphing for people who are blind or dyslexic. It includes a standard 
on-screen calculator and a powerful function evaluator as well as the capability of computing and 
viewing functions visually and as an audio plot. The audio tone plot gives AGC users access on a time 
scale comparable to access by people without print disabilities to visual plots on standard graphing 
calculators.
