TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE
MBTF transcribes school textbooks in Textbook and Nemeth codes, tactile graphics, tests and virtually any type of document for business and/or government, legal documents, menus, catalogs, training manuals and other publications.
For textbooks in production, volumes are shipped as completed to stay ahead of the student during the school year. MBTF retains the “original” and ships a copy. Deadlines for other materials depend upon the length and content. Textbook orders cannot be processed without the textbook grade level, ISBN number and copyright date.
The majority of our braille is proofread by one of our blind proofreaders. All textbooks transcribed by MBTF are registered with the American Printing House for the Blind. Textbooks furnished by customers become property of MBTF.
