IPI Braille on Demand is a resource for Iowa educators working with sight-impaired school children to have documents quickly transcribed into Braille. Designed exclusively for Iowa's PK-12 schools, pre-registration for the program is required by emailing ipibraille@iowa.gov. Educators may order up to ten pages to be transcribed per day using the Braille on Demand website at https://bod.iaprisonind.com.

Other services include:

  • Express Braille: Provides quick turnaround for small transcription projects (typically under 10 pages), for qualified organizations nationwide. 
  • Worksheet / Textbook Transcription: Request a quote for transcription of worksheets or textbooks, for qualified organizations nationwide.
  • Large Print Textbook Conversion: Request a quote for conversion of textbooks to large print format, for qualified organizations nationwide.

For all other Braille requests or for questions about any of IPI's Braille services, contact Lucas Timpe at ipibraille@iowa.gov.
