A friend asked me:
Does anybody use TeX to transcribe mathematics into braille math ?

I must admit I'd never heard of Braille math,
although I suppose it's obvious  something of the kind must exist.
(Several great mathematicians  have been blind,
perhaps the best known being the Soviet mathematician Lev Pontrjagin.)

But I'd be interested to learn on any use  of TeX with Braille,
particularly in conjunction with mathematics.
