The Washington Talking Book & Braille Library (WTBBL) builds community and provides equitable access to information and reading materials for Washington residents unable to read standard print. WTBBL has more than 200 volunteers working with us, and we are proud of their passion to work in an organization that values and promotes diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism.
VOLUNTEER POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The Braille Department’s goal is to produce braille books equal in content and quality to the print edition. Volunteer braille transcribers receive the print version of a book and consult with the Braille Program Manager about the particular needs of the project. Volunteer transcribers can use direct-entry braille software to transcribe books or receive a braille file of a scanned book to clean up. Transcription is done remotely, and we can provide you with transcription software. Consultation with the Braille Program Manager can be done at WTBBL (free parking is available), via Microsoft Teams, over the phone or via email.
