Dear Andy,
At APU we have developed our own transcription service, which provides
transcriptions in Braille, digital and analogue audio, large print,
electronic and tactile maps and diagrams. The service was set-up in 1996
and provides these services to APU departments, students, staff and other HE
and FE institutions at subsidised rates while also providing a commercial
service to business.
If you want to talk more give me a ring on 01245 493131 ext. 3174 or just
send me an e-mail ([log in to unmask]).
Best wishes,
Steve Carey.
