Documents transcribed range from greeting card messages, agendas and information leaflets to computer manuals, school books and the National Curriculum documents.
Transcription is quicker if documents can be sent on disc.
A wide variety of printed documents can be transcribed into Grade 2 braille. Whilst not as pleasant to listen to as the human voice, it is reckoned to be the best of its kind, and more than adequate for information material. There is a choice of voices and voice speeds. Large Print Documents can be customised to the print size which meets the client's needs. Use of equipment Users of the service may chose to bring their documents to Access to Print and use the Kurzweil machine to listen to them.
