Audio and large print

Following on from our last post on translated leaflets I thought we would mention large print and audio transcriptions. Local authorities and many businesses are obliged to offer their literature in a format that can be understood by visually impaired people upon request.

Large print leaflets are fairly simple to produce, typically scaling leaflets up to a more suitable size. For example, an A5 leafet could be printed at A4, thereby doubling the size. These are usually printed on digital presses that offer cost effective print runs of small quantities, typical with these specialist documents. Of course, if the scaling up of pages isn’t suitable and the original page size has to be maintained we can reset the artwork to allow larger type and distribution of elements that are suited to those people with visual impairments.

Where large print isn’t suitable we also provide audio transcriptions. With a relatively low cost these are another great option. Files are available on both audio CD and tape.

It is important to remember that we have an obligation to helping people with visual impairments to be able to carry out their daily activities even if this is as simple as knowing when your collection day is and what can be recycled.
