At GetBraille.com, we understand that creating an inclusive learning environment is essential for student success in higher education. We partner with colleges and universities nationwide to provide comprehensive accessibility solutions for students with visual impairments. Our expert team delivers high-quality braille, large print, and audio materials to ensure every student has equal access to their educational materials.

Princeton University

Our partnership with Princeton University showcases our ability to go beyond traditional academic materials with innovative accessibility solutions. Our collaboration with Princeton’s Lewis Center for the Arts led to the creation of detailed braille art tags for an accessible exhibition, allowing visually impaired visitors to independently explore artwork descriptions and artist statements.

We also developed specialized educational playing cards with both print and braille for their inclusive summer youth program, making learning activities fully accessible to all participants. These creative projects complement our ongoing work providing accessible versions of Princeton’s advanced academic materials across disciplines, from complex mathematical notation to scientific texts, demonstrating our ability to think outside the box while maintaining the highest standards of academic accessibility.

Perkins School for the Blind

The historic Perkins School for the Blind partnered with us on a crucial safety initiative, demonstrating our expertise in audio description services. We worked closely with their people operations and marketing teams to create accessible versions of their safety training videos, ensuring that both visually impaired students and staff could fully understand emergency protocols and procedures.

Our audio description team carefully crafted clear, time-sensitive descriptions of evacuation routes, safety equipment locations, and emergency response procedures. We paid special attention to describing spatial relationships and physical actions that are critical during emergencies, such as proper use of emergency exits and assembly point locations. This project highlights our commitment to not just academic accessibility, but to the fundamental safety and wellbeing of entire educational communities.

Suffolk University

Suffolk University demonstrates how our services extend beyond traditional academic materials into crucial public service initiatives. Through our collaboration with Suffolk University Law School’s Fair Housing Initiative, we provided braille versions of vital housing rights materials, legal resources, and educational content.

Our work helped ensure that individuals with visual impairments could independently access important information about their housing rights, fair lending practices, and discrimination protections. The materials we produced included detailed legal guides, housing application processes, and tenant rights documentation. This partnership showcases our commitment to accessibility in both educational and public service contexts, helping institutions extend their reach to all members of the community.

These collaborations highlight our ability to combine technical expertise with educational insight, creating materials that don’t just convert visual information but enhance the learning experience for visually impaired students.

Professional Braille Transcription

Our team of certified transcribers specializes in multiple braille formats to meet diverse academic needs:

• Unified English Braille (UEB)
• Nemeth Code for mathematics and scientific notation
• UEB Technical for advanced scientific and technical content

Each transcriber maintains current certification in their specialty areas, ensuring the highest quality and accuracy in every project. We handle complex academic content across all disciplines, from humanities to advanced sciences.

Campus Navigation Solutions

Our specialized campus mapping services help students navigate their educational environment confidently and independently. We create detailed tactile maps that include:

• Building locations and entrances

Photographic Enlargement Services

For students who benefit from enlarged text while maintaining the original textbook layout:

• High-quality enlargement up to 200% of original size
• Professional printing on paper up to 11×17 inches
