Large Print Documents
Custom Large Print Transcription & Printing Services for Businesses
At Braille Works, we realize that creating Large Print documents is much more than simply increasing the font size. Our Large Print transcription process has been tested by people with visual impairments and developed to provide the best possible structure for ease of reading. It’s important to know that changes in format like BOLD, ITALICS and COLOR can make a document difficult to read for a person with low vision.

The Braille Works approach to Large Print
We don’t rely solely on automatic conversion software. Our transcriptionists carefully analyze the structure and details of your document to create a large print version that is easily readable and aesthetically pleasing for individuals with visual impairments.
Large Print transcription FAQ
What document formats can you accept for transcription?
Acceptable formats include Microsoft Word®, Text documents (.rtf or .txt), PDF, AFP, Excel, PowerPoint and/or hard copies. Files submitted electronically in Microsoft Word® or Text format are less labor intensive and therefore less expensive to transcribe.
How long does it take to create large print documents?
No two jobs are alike. We will work with you to develop an acceptable timeline.
What kind of paper do you use for large print document transcription?
Large print documents are normally printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch paper, but can also be produced on a variety of paper sizes up to 11 x 17 inch, single or double-sided. Documents are then stapled or bound, and packed for shipping.
