Braille Production Services

From creating accessible employee resources and educational materials to accessible combination braille and large print menus, we provide fast, accurate braille transcription and production services at competitive prices.

Our high-quality materials help ensure that those with visual impairments and print disabilities have equal access to written information and can effectively communicate with others. Converting hundreds of documents on your own can be a daunting task. Let us do the heavy lifting and take care of the accessible document production for you. Bring accessible content to those you serve with GetBraille.

The best dining experience is an inclusive one. QR code, digital, and standard menus pose a barrier for those with visual impairments; accessing them may still require the assistance of another person and they may not be set up in a linear fashion – negatively affecting their readability with screen readers.

Let GetBraille provide accessible hardcopy versions for your establishment. We make ordering easy for everyone.  Our accessible menu solutions including combination braille and large print menus are convenient and compliant, enabling those with low or no vision to make independent, informed decisions about the best meal in their opinion.

Our accessible menus contain a large print section along with the braille to provide equal access to diners at all levels of the visual spectrum.

Seasonal menu changes? No problem! Get Braille can help you set up an account for a faster turnaround. Send us your menu in a Word document and we will convert it into an accessible format. Contact us for pricing.
