Reading onto Tape/CD
Audio recordings are often produced on cassette tape since blind and visually impaired people frequently relied upon cassette-based publications and in the past were most likely to have access to audio cassette players. However, now it's more common for Atlas Translations to produce recordings on CD and in MP3 format, which can be played on home equipment. Please contact us if you require any other format.
All prices for our Reading onto Tape and CD service are subject to the complexity of the document. All documents need to be seen before the price is confirmed. Complex text affects the cost of our Reading onto Tape and CD service and so we will need to view non-text items such as tables, graphs, mathematical formulae, diagrams and pictures before we are able to provide a quotation.
We calculate our rates according to the number of pages and the complexity of the text. If you have a hard copy of the disk or CD version of the text, this is very helpful. Our Reading onto Tape and CD service includes the transcription of diagrams and pictures as appropriate. Atlas Translations offers indexing including time indexing, so that blind and visually impaired people are able to find information fast. We can also provide (upon request) presentation cases for multiple tapes and CDs.
Case Study
London-based Atlas Translations regularly supplies a reading onto CD service for the blind and partially sighted customers of a building society. Documents that are transferred to CD (and sometimes tape) are product brochures, letters to the client and statements.
