I would suggest considering MathType. It is commonly used as an add-on
to Microsoft Word, and works very well as a handwriting accommodation
for mathematics, including calculus and other advanced areas of study.
You can download a free 30-day trial from this link:

MathType is a mainstream WYSIWYG math editor used by math teachers and
STEM professionals all over the world, but it just so happens that it
has lots of accessibility hooks in the program that many people with
disabilities will find helpful. You can do math input entirely by mouse
(and any type of adapted mouse, head-tracking software, etc.) or you can
set it up with keyboard shortcuts to all the math symbols if that is
preferable. Using the shortcuts, you can even set up MathType to work
with something like Dragon Naturally Speaking, if desired. Here's a
guide to doing some of that, which will probably be helpful:

I should also mention that we have a number of resource articles on wide
ranging issues related to math accessibility available on our website:

We also recently started a blog called Making Math Accessible, where we
will be reporting on new developments and news items of interest to the
math accessibility community:

Subject: [EASI] Alternate input of calculus symbols.

Hello Folks,
    I am seeking a way for a person to input Calculus symbols. They are
temporarily disabled do to an injury to their writing hand.
Mathematics and I parted company at the Calculus stage so I am no great
help on that side.
It seems there ought to be fonts out there for entering Calculus, but
does it require specialized software for all the superscripts and
subscripts and such.

thanks
zachariah
