Michigan Braille Transcribing Fund (MBTF) is the largest braille production facility in the nation. Our facility transcribes textbooks and other printed materials into braille for blind and visually impaired persons. We also transcribe other materials such as contracts, legal documents, tests, exams, manuals, restaurant menus, election ballots, etc.

MBTF is home to one of the most advanced braille graphic departments in the industry. We strive to reproduce each graphic (e.g., maps, charts, graphs, anatomy, etc.) into braille that appears in the textbooks we transcribe. Many of our customers have complimented us about the high quality of our graphics. The braille graphics we produce are an integral part of the books we transcribe.
