A2i transcribes information into alternative accessible formats. Document transcription can benefit people with disabilities – including those who are blind or visually impaired – and others who are unable to hear. Our accessible translation services also give access to information for people who are unable to read printed text or access online content.
We translate to alternative formats for accessibility so that you can provide Braille, large print, audio, Easy Read, BSL video and electronic format versions of documents for your customers, stakeholders, or students and members of the public.
