Express Braille is a braille transcription service for qualified organizations or individuals working with both youth and adult braille readers to have documents quickly transcribed into Braille. Once registered and approved on the Express Braille website, customers may order up to ten pages to be transcribed per day at https://expressbraille.iaprisonind.com.

Other services include:

Braille on Demand: Provides quick turnaround for small transcription projects (typically under 10 pages), exclusively for Iowa's PK-12 schools.
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.
