About Braille Transcription UK Ltd
We are one of Britain's leading independent producers of Braille, large print and audio recordings.
Creating accessible opportunities for all our clients is always at the forefront of our work - and the services we provide reflects that.
Improving a persons knowledge, independence and safety is of paramount importance for all - including the visually impaired - and Braille, large print and specially recorded audio documents help accomplish these things for those with little or no sight.
Following the introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), which came into force as a vehicle to help combat discrimination faced by the UK’s population of disabled people, we, as a company, are making every effort to help public service providers bring their policies into line with the legislation. Under the Act, companies and all public service providers have an obligation to make reasonable adjustment to the way they operate in order to accommodate the needs of persons with a disability. For us, our mission is to encourage them to make their literature available to the sight impaired in formats they can readily access - like, Braille, for instance, large print and audio recordings.
The services we provide our clients are always of the highest standard and we take great pride in everything we do for them. Upon taking on a new client, we give them our absolute assurance that we will do everything within our powers to meet their needs and requirements and also to promise them that their business interests will be protected at all times.
Here at Braille Transcription UK Ltd all our staff have been trained in the use and reading of Braille. Everything we produce passes through several production channels before it is eventually dispatched to the client. The section on How We Produce Braille gives you an overview of all that is involved.
It heartens us greatly to hear clients saying that they have seen a significant increase in business now that they are offering Braille and large print supplied by us. It is equally encouraging to hear the same clients commenting on the letters of thanks they have received from their sight impaired customers.
Our endeavours to encourage more companies to embrace Braille and alternate reading formats for their visually impaired clients is an ongoing process, and we are delighted with the number of businesses who have responded favourably to our initiatives. Suffice to say that once company directors and business proprietors come to realise the significant impact Braille, large print and audio recordings have had on their profitability, among other things, they can’t ever imagine being without them.
Already we have placed Braille and large print into restaurants, the leisure industry, doctors surgeries and solicitors offices, the art world, and even into the hands of Mr David Blunkett. Telecommunication companies, theatres and universities have also benefited enormously from our services.
The success of our company has largely been achieved on the grounds of numerous referrals we receive, but also due to the invaluable support and industrious nature of our director and company secretary, who are themselves blind, whose knowledge and vast repertoire of experience continues to be the driving force behind all our projects and new initiatives.
Finally, we wish to offer our thanks and gratitude to all our clients who have remained loyal to us since our inception and to those whom have joined us along the way; we also wish to thank the North Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce, Business Link, and our accountants, Mitten Clarke Ltd, for their continued support and financial help. And of course, a special thank you to all our dedicated and industrious staff whom have all shared in the evolutionary process of Braille Transcription UK Ltd.
It is due to their continued backing and involvement that has, we believe, put Braille Transcription UK Ltd on a secure footing both for now and for the foreseeable future.
