Document File Formats

When submitting your files for braille printing, the best file types include MS Word®, Text documents (.rtf or .txt), PDF, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files submitted electronically in MS Word® or Text format are less labor intensive and, therefore, less expensive to transcribe.

Turnaround Time

No two jobs are alike. We will work with you to develop an acceptable timeline.

Braille Transcription Cost

Braille transcription fees vary depending on the complexity of the project and the binding option you choose. Documents that include tables, charts or graphs are considered to be more complex while regular text documents are much simpler. We seek to keep the cost of braille transcription services economical for your business because we appreciate how valuable braille is to its readers.

Languages Available 

Braille Works transcribes materials in Latin-based languages, including:

  • English
  • Spanish

Braille Paper

We use 8 ½ x 11 inch 65 lb. white cover stock paper. This “holds” the dots and makes the braille last longer and much easier to read. When requested, your braille document can include protective plastic covers.

Binding Options

Our braille documents are bound with a plastic GBC comb or spiral binding. Your Braille Works rep will review the options with you to determine the best method of binding for your projects.

Accessible Document Remediation Services

We also provide a service for converting documents to a “screen reader friendly” format.  This process gives your customers with blindness or low vision an accessible PDF document that they can independently read with their computer.  [Learn More]
