| About Bookshare |
Bookshare.org launched in 2002 and offers blind, dyslexic and other disabled individuals access to more than 15,000 books online by enabling members of this community to legally share scanned books. Members pay an annual subscription fee to download books of their choice to listen to on their computers using a synthetic voice or to read using a refreshable Braille device. You don't have to be a Bookshare member to have a book embossed by Universal Media Services from the Bookshare Catalog. |
|
| How it Works |
Visit Bookshare.org and simply search for your book of interest and select the embossed braille option. After filling out a simple online order form and submitting payment, the custom book order is sent to Universal Media Services where it is embossed. The completed book is then mailed directly to the customer. (Customers can also have the file edited and proofread as well). |
