More recently the English-speaking blind community has attempted to unite the various Braille systems for the various disciplines, resulting in a Unified English Braille (UEB). The project began with a memo from Nemeth and Dr Tim Cranmer to BANA in 1991, expressing concern over the “disarray” of the codes then in use . The International Council on English Braille was established that May. As UEB began to take shape, however, Nemeth grew disillusioned, believing that it would only make mathematical notation more complicated. In order to write the equation 4a + 3b, for example, it was necessary to put a # indicating the presence of a number before the 4, then a letter sign before the a, and so on . He responded with a revised code of his own, the Nemeth Uniform Braille System (NUBS), but it did not find favour with national committees.
