Braille Transcribers

Most states have private agencies or government agencies that offer Braille transcribing services. A good place to start is with the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.

National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
Library of Congress, Washington, DC 20542
Toll Free: 800-424-8567
Website: http://www.loc.gov/nls/  (exit DHS)

  • The Library of Congress has compiled a directory, available in large print and Braille formats, which gives the names of volunteer groups and individuals who transcribe and record books and other reading materials for blind readers.
  • The listing is alphabetical by state and is called Volunteers Who Produce Books. Send for your free copy from the Library of Congress.
