Aim

Transkript is a production house for adapted reading formats. They make books, magazines and texts accessible to people with reading disabilities, allowing blind and partially sighted people, those with dyslexia and people with a physical disability can read in the way they want: in Braille or large print, in spoken form or digital text format. Drawings and diagrams are enlarged or moulded into a tangible form.

Access to information in all its forms is the key to knowledge and to better integration in society.

Tanskript’s aim is to give people with print impairments access to all the information they need. Access to information and to all forms of written material is the key to knowledge and to better integration in society. Main activities involve producing Braille, large print, digital text and digital audio versions of all printed materials: educational books, books for the special library, youth literature, brochures, periodicals etc.

The production is realized by a team of 36 employees and more than 150 volunteers.

Accessible formats

• Braille
• large print (customized)
• spoken form (DAISY)
• digital text files
• enlarged drawings
• relief drawings

Half of the materials produced is intended for the collection of Luisterpunt, the Flemish library for people with reading disabilities.

Every year, 80 to 100 pupils and students who follow classes in regular education are monitored. This means that more than 750 learning and workbooks are delivered each year in an adapted reading format: in Braille, custom large print or digital text, together with the accompanying drawings.

The Transkript editorial team is responsible for the compilation and production of 5 thematic magazines and 5 public magazines.

Listening magazines can be listened to both on CD and online via Anderslezen.be and the Anderslezen app.
