Our Services
Comprehensive braille transcription and accessible media services for organizations and individuals worldwide.
What We Do
Handid provides braille transcription, tactile graphics, and document accessibility services. We specialize in languages other than English — especially those using non-Latin scripts — and maintain HIPAA- and GDPR-compliant workflows throughout.
Multi-Language Braille Transcription
Handid specializes in braille for languages other than English, especially those that use symbol systems other than the Latin alphabet. We produce braille in Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Farsi/Persian, and many more.
Braille Printing & Embossing
Professional braille embossing using state-of-the-art equipment including the ViewPlus SpotDot embosser that can both print on the page and overlay braille & tactile graphics — enabling print and braille readers to work from the same documents.
Jumbo Braille
Jumbo Braille is an enlarged and more widely-spaced version of braille useful for individuals with sensory limitations such as neuropathy. We have configured our embossers to produce Jumbo Braille that matches international size and spacing standards.
Tactile Graphics
Raised-line images that allow blind and low-vision readers to experience diagrams, maps, charts, and illustrations through touch. Produced simultaneously with braille text on the same page using our SpotDot embosser.
Document Accessibility Remediation
Remediation of DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF documents for use with screen-reading software such as JAWS, NVDA (Non-Visual Desktop Access), VoiceOver (iOS), and TalkBack (Android).
HIPAA & GDPR Compliant Processing
Handid uses state-of-the-art disk encryption, firewall, and VPN technologies, and employs policies and technical standards that meet HIPAA and GDPR requirements for confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Pharmaceutical Packaging Braille
Specialized transcription and proofreading services for pharmaceutical packaging around the world, including multi-language braille for products distributed across regions where multiple languages are spoken.
Religious Text Conversion
Braille transcription of sacred and liturgical texts — including scriptures, prayer books, and devotional materials — in their original languages, enabling blind and low-vision individuals to engage with religious content independently and with full fidelity to the source.
