Personal Braille Program

Utah Council of the Blind, (UCB), promotes Braille literacy as a major component of leading independent and fulfilling lives for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

Realizing that the high cost of Braille transcription makes it impractical for many people to have documents of personal importance transcribed, the UCB created the Personal Braille Program to provide Braille readers with easy access to personal items such as legal documents, medical instructions, materials for meetings, instruction manuals, crochet and knitting patterns, recipe books, and more. Individuals can also request that materials already available in Braille be purchased for them to own.

To request transcription of an item, you may call UCB's business office at 801-245-9264 or e-mail: utahblind@gmail.com

This program is free to any resident of Utah who is blind or visually impaired and reads Braille. It is, however, solely supported by grants and donations and is very costly; therefore. requests for transcription services may be prioritized by the Braille Committee for production.

We are also, at this time, making available here on the website, our collection of documents in Braille ready format, (.brf), for your convenience to download and utilize on your electronic devices.
