Who We Serve

Trusted partners for accessibility

Working alongside teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs), special education teams, and accessibility coordinators to deliver classroom-ready braille and tactile materials that meet Individualized Education Program (IEP) requirements and curriculum deadlines.

Subscribe to the same conversion tool we use in our company. Upload a textbook, review the extracted structure, and export embosser-ready BRF for a transcriber to review — without building your own conversion system.

University accessibility offices, state resource centers, and corporate accessibility teams that need a documented, reviewable braille workflow instead of an ad hoc process for every request.

Publishers, government agencies, and private businesses with accessible documents, signage, training materials, and custom tactile work — keeping accessibility commitments tangible and on schedule.

Why QBT

Quality you can rely on

High-quality braille starts with accuracy. Every project is reviewed by a certified braille transcriber and held to BANA standards before it ever reaches a reader.

Every braille file is produced by a certified braille transcriber — Literary and Nemeth Code certifications from the Library of Congress, plus National Braille Association Textbook Format. Real credentials behind every page.

No project ships without a second-pass review against BANA formatting standards. We stay up to date and follow the newest standards, including the current UEB rulebook and the Nemeth Code 2022. The braille that reaches your reader meets the professional accuracy requirements that schools, districts, and publishers depend on.

Beyond code accuracy, every page is reviewed for tactile clarity — line breaks, indentation, label placement, and the formatting decisions that decide whether a reader can actually use the document.

From K–12 districts and university accessibility offices to publishers and government agencies — Quality Braille Transcriptions is the partner trusted with deadlines, IEPs, and accuracy that can’t slip.

Scanned or image-based PDFs work too. The tool reads the text from the page images (OCR) before extraction, so files without selectable text also give usable text.
