How does the transcription process work?

Every document we receive is initially handled by our front of house reading committee whose job it is to determine the format the Braille will take and to highlight and resolve possible problems.

Material is then passed on to any of our production team for transcribing. Following the initial translation into Braille, documents are then read by our experienced visually impaired proofreaders - and any discrepancies are noted and passed back to the production team for correcting.

When completed, the document is then printed and bound in the preferred style of the client and dispatched.

Our printers are capable of producing Braille on a variety of sizes of paper and can either be embossed on one or both sides of the page.

What else can we offer you?

Two types of services:
1. Standard – in which jobs are completed according to the order in which they are received – or within an allotted timescale agreed between the client and Braille Transcription UK
2. Express (Grade A) – in which the document is guaranteed to be completed within a timescale set by the client only: 24/48 hrs, for example. This service is charged at 300% above the Standard price and includes guaranteed next-day delivery**

A choice of binding:
1. Saddle stitch
2. C
omb

Whatever type of binding you choose, we will include durable, high-quality covers which are designed to protect the Braille and ensure a clean and smartly presented document is maintained. These covers are gloss coated on the outside and mat finished on the inside as can be seen from the samples shown here.

** Our Express (Grade A) service charges only applies to bespoke, one-off documents only and therefore does not apply to monthly contracts requiring next-day lead times. Presently, we cannot produce audio documents via our Express (grade A) service.

What sort of Paper Do We Use?

Anything from 100 to 180GSM – and always in white as we feel this makes for a brighter and a more attractively-looking document.

N.B. Unless otherwise requested by the client, all our Braille documents are printed in Grade 2 English format in accordance with the regulations set down by the Braille Authority of The United Kingdom.
