Braille Transcribers allow educational institutions, employers, public libraries and other organizations to be more inclusive and better comply with accessibility regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). By Braille transcribing accurately, they allow people who are blind or have low vision to access information and to communicate in writing with individuals who don’t know how to read Braille. When they perform their job duties proficiently, they can have a positive impact on an organization. In schools, they contribute to the quality of education provided to all students, and they improve staff morale and customer satisfaction when working for private employers, libraries and other organizations.
