Remote Braille Transcription

Transcribe educational materials into Braille (UEB, Nemeth, Music, or foreign language code as applicable) following BANA formatting standards.

Create accessible digital materials such as embossed Braille files, tactile graphics, large print, and accessible electronic documents (BRF, BRL, DOCX, PDF, EPUB).

Use Braille translation software (e.g., Duxbury, Braille2000, Corel) and embossing equipment to produce accurate and high-quality materials.

Review and proofread Braille documents for accuracy, completeness, and readability, ensuring consistency with source text and code rules.

Collaborate with Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs), classroom teachers, and other staff to determine appropriate formatting and turnaround timelines.

Maintain secure organization of files and documentation through Google Drive or cloud-based systems for transferring, tracking, and storing work.

Prepare and mail completed materials via USPS Free Matter for the Blind or UPS when physical delivery is needed; receive hard-copy materials through the same method.

Communicate regularly with supervisors or educational teams to provide progress updates, confirm receipt of materials, and request clarification as needed.

Prioritize workload to meet deadlines for classroom assignments, tests, and projects, often with quick turnaround times.

Maintain confidentiality of all student and school information in compliance with FERPA and organizational policies.

Troubleshoot technical issues with file formats, embossers, or document conversion tools as needed.
