In the twenty-five years since, Prose and Cons Braille has grown dramatically and now employs 30-35 men. Prose and Cons Braille performs essential tasks including Braille Transcribing, Tactile Graphics Design, Braille Writer Repair, Large Print Enlargement, and Thermoform Production. Prose and Cons Braille has enabled a number of workers to achieve formal Braille certifications through the Library of Congress. We have people certified in the following areas: Music, Nemeth, NBA Formats Course, Proofreading, and Literary Braille, as well as others who are currently working toward their Nemeth and Literary Braille certifications. Prose and Cons Braille is proud to offer quality transcription work with tactile diagrams for math, geography, science, and any other diagram that can be feasibly recreated in a tactile format. Our goal is to provide quality educational materials for school systems nationwide and continued expansion of our operation in order to better serve the blind and visually-impaired community. Our Braille/Large Print textbooks are listed on the American Printing House database LOUIS.
