Conversion services

This section includes equipment and services for converting printed or photocopied material, for example maps and diagrams, into audio, large print or a tactile raised image which can be interpreted by touch. Some models could potentially create Moon from a printed Moon font.

Apps and software that convert text into Braille, audio file, large format or tactile format.

Braille creation software may translate documents to Braille and/or format existing Braille documents. Some software can be used to scan Braille from a document and save it to a computer so it does not need to be re-typed. Braille software is used with Braille embossers.
