A2i User Group

Help us improve our services by joining A2is user group for visually impaired (VI) people.

The aim of this initiative is to ensure we are providing the best possible service for our customers, and for those people who receive our goods. We also hope this feedback will inform our research into new and future possible products and services.

By joining our user group you can:

  • feedback any comments or suggestions about our work in general
  • give your opinion on specific formats and a2i transcription styles
  • be consulted on new services that A2i hopes to offer in the future, such as Daisy (Daisy talking book) and additional foreign language formats
  • receive 10% off all A2i services including shop products, and
  • receive other member promotions

We intend to contact user group members just once every two months by email, although we are of course happy to contact you in any other format if needed, just let us know.

If you, or one of your customers, colleagues or friends would like to join, or would like more information about this opportunity, please contact A2i on 01179 70 70 90 or usergroup@a2i.co.uk, or click here to fill in your details online.


Pharmaceutical Packaging & Patient Information Leaflets (PILs)

EU Pharmaceutical Directive 2004/27 was implemented last October. Pharmaceutical companies are now required to make their products fully accessible to visually impaired people, including drugs packaging and Patient Information Leaflets.

A2i has put together full details on Braille and audio devices for this particular industry. By working together with A2i, pharmaceutical companies can make their products accessible.

To download A2i's recommendations, please click here: Drugs Packaging PDF (100KB)
For an accessible version, click here: Drugs Packaging RTF (46KB)


Music

Adding music between chapters or sections of audio tapes and CDs is an effective way to both personalise your recording and make it clear to the listener where sections start and finish.

You will soon be able to choose from a selection of musical interludes, ranging from classical to modern to add to your audio transcriptions. Sound samples will be available on our website. Alternatively, you can supply your own music.


Shop

We are currently developing the range of products on our web-shop. We are researching different styles for our Braille signage, and further designs for locker numbers and key fobs. If you have any suggestions of products you would like us to offer, please feel free to contact us by phone 01179 70 70 90 or email info@a2i.co.uk.
