The Texture of Feelings
Textures can remind us of feelings we've had, and sometimes we even use the same words to describe textures as we use to describe feelings!
Speaking without Words
Nonverbal communication is an important part of how you "speak" to others. The best part is: just as you can choose what words you use, you can also choose what facial expressions and body language you use! How and how much you choose to communicate is entirely up to you!
Tactile Graphs
Have fun surveying your friends and family, then turn your data into a bar graph or pie chart.

Careers at National Braille Press
About the position: National Braille Press has been providing braille materials of superior quality to blind readers worldwide for more than eighty years. An exceptional proofreader must be detail-oriented, organized, and communicate effectively, comprehend and apply braille rules and standards, and be motivated to make decisions independently in a fast-paced environment committed to accuracy.
A Tour of National Braille Press
Producing braille begins with transcription. Transcriptionists use special software, such as Duxbury, to transcribe written/print words into braille code. Most books arrive at NBP in hard copy and are scanned into a digital file, although some do arrive digitally. Braille code looks similar to HTML and other computer coding, using different sequences for complex formatting of braille letters, words, paragraphs, and pages. Transcriptionists need to look at all the pages, fix contractions, number the pages, and format the words center, bold, italic, etc before the braille copy is reviewed by a proofreader.
Our Staff
One fourth of our staff has a disability, predominantly blindness, filling positions at all levels. A fundamental belief at NBP is that blind people can, want to, and should work for companies that value talent and hard work above all.Our transcribers and proofreaders ensure the highest quality braille materials. All of our transcribers are certified by the Library of Congress and have competencies in one or more of the following codes: literary, Nemeth, computer, and music braille. Our proofreaders are braille readers, also certified by the Library of Congress, and collectively bring over 80 years of experience to the job.
