Braille printing and posting service
L-Mail launches Braille printing and posting service
L-Mail.com, the online letter printing and posting service, has today announced the launch of an online Braille translation service. The new service offers a 24 hour turnaround for the printing and posting of Braille letters to any location in the world.
Further information can be found at www.l-mail.com/goto/braille
By teaming up with Canadian based 'The Braille Superstore' L-Mail users worldwide can simply type their letter, select the Braille printing location and make their payment and L-Mail will print and post the letter within 24 hours of receipt (Monday to Friday) encoded in Braille.
Peter Harris, Managing Director of QiQ, the company behind L-Mail.com said "With no need to open an account and all Braille letters being produced by professional Braille encoders, we believe we have a great service that is of use to both consumers and businesses. Whether an individual wishes to communicate with a blind friend or a business wishes to stay ahead of accessibility laws we believe this new cost effective service can help".
Craig Faris of 'The Braille Superstore', the professional Braille transcribers behind the service said "Everyone here is very excited about this new venture. By combining our Braille translation experience with L-Mail's user-friendly letter-sending website, it's never been easier for friends or co-workers to communicate with Braille readers. And perhaps best of all, you can use the very same site to send letters to anyone on your list - whether they happen to read regular print or Braille!".
L-Mail recently launched an Integration Account which enables online systems to automate the production of standard letters. The Integration Account can also be used to generate Braille letters.
Braille encoded letters, depending on location and exchange rate, cost around £5.00 each.
