Become a Volunteer Braille Transcriptionist

Just because you can't see doesn't mean you can't read. Braille Library & Transcribing Services, Inc. (BLTS) helps make that true for blind and visually impaired adults and children by translating print into the raised dots of braille.

You can help make this happen, too! All of our transcribers take a one year braille transcription course that consists of weekly classes and culminates in certification by the Library of Congress. A new class already started in Fall 2024, but we're always looking for new braillists, so if you're interested in learning more about BLTS & the braille transcription course, please call 608-233-0222 or email pjherrli@wisc.edu
