Do braille transcribers get paid?
Braille transcribing has traditionally been a volunteer occupation and many transcribers do work as volunteers. Transcribers also work as employees of schools, special education departments, and other braille producing agencies. Many transcribers also work from their homes as independent contractors. It may take several years to acquire the skills and experience necessary to be qualified for paid work. Newer transcribers usually work under the supervision or mentorship of transcribers who are already established in this field to acquire these further skills.
