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 Mission & History
NBP empowers the blind and visually impaired with programs, materials, and technology supporting braille literacy and learning through touch.
