What we can do!
Braille Greeting Cards messages for all occasions
Do you know someone who is Blind or Visually Impaired?
If you do then you'll know how difficult it can be to find a way for them to be able to read their own greetings cards. At Focus on Vision C.I.C we offer Braille greetings messages so you can send a card they can read for themselves.
Simply e-mail your message and your address to info@focusonvision.org.uk. Please ensure you send your message in good time to allow for posting times.
We will Braille your message onto sticky backed plastic enabling you to insert it in a card of your choice. Instructions on how to do this will be included.
So, make their day a bit more special and send a card they’ll truly appreciate.
Please note: This is a free service but if you decide you would like to make a donation then all the details you need will be in the letter sent with the message.
Braille Transcription
There are two types of Braille. Grade 1 Braille is un-contracted and used mostly for new Braille readers. Grade 2 Braille is the most widely accepted form of Braille. It takes up less space on the page due to the contractions. We can produce Braille in either grade, printed single-sided or double-sided on A4 Braille paper.
We charge £26 per hour and 25p per sheet of Braille.
Large Print
Focus on Vision C.I.C. recommends and uses a simple, clear and legible Sans Serif style fonts such as Arialor Tahoma. The original text is transcribed and reformatted without destroying the original context or content of the document.
We use a standard font size of 20 points in order to meet the needs of as many users as possible.
We charge £21 per hour
Audio Transcription
We offer a comprehensive reading service. The audio recording is separated into tracks if required and then burned to CD, which will play on any standard CD player and a computer.
We can produce visual labels for the CDs and both visual and Braille labels for the library boxes.
We charge £21 per hour and £5 per CD
