Braille transcription
that keeps pace with real life
AutoDots helps you get from source file to usable Braille without the long wait. Use it for school packs, exam papers, and everyday documents.
Built for real production
We built AutoDots for people who need to deliver actual Braille documents on a deadline. It's about getting the job done.
Vision impairment
The Challenge
"Waiting weeks for a document is frustrating and unfair."
The AutoDots Approach
AutoDots converts files to Braille in minutes, so you can get on with your day.
Independence means reading your own mail, when you want to read it.
Parents and families
The Challenge
"When homework isn't accessible, parents become readers."
The AutoDots Approach
Upload the worksheet while you make dinner. Get a Braille file back before dessert.
Your child keeps up with the class, and you get to be a parent again.
Schools and universities
The Challenge
"The transcription backlog never seems to get smaller."
The AutoDots Approach
Use AutoDots for the bulk work. Save your human transcribers for the complex stuff.
Students get their materials on time, not halfway through the term.
Exam boards
The Challenge
"Deadlines are tight, and accuracy is non-negotiable."
The AutoDots Approach
We handle tables and technical notation, giving you a solid first draft to refine.
Meet your accessibility deadlines without the last-minute panic.
Businesses
The Challenge
"Ignoring an accessibility request is a legal risk."
The AutoDots Approach
Quickly produce Braille versions of letters, policies, and statements.
Respond to customers with the same speed you'd offer anyone else.
Three steps to usable Braille
Simple workflow, fewer delays, and clearer handoff for review.
Upload your file
PDF, Word, Markdown, text, or an image. We extract readable text and describe visual content in context.
We process the context
Our engine looks at the structure, not just the letters. It handles math, tables, and formatting correctly.
Download Braille
Get a BRF file ready for your embosser, or a digital version to read on a display.
Example outputs
These examples show how different file types are treated before export.
STEM & Mathematics
Angle = $(frequency \div total) \times 360^\circ$
Equations and notation are handled with a technical Braille pipeline, then surfaced for review.
Visual & Data Analysis
Pie chart: Charity Fundraising (£900). Sponsored Walk 40%, Bake Sale 25%, Donations 20%, Raffle 15%.
Charts and graphs are converted into descriptions or tables that remain readable in Braille.
Structured Documents
Course Syllabus: Introduction to UEB
Letters, syllabi, and reports keep a clear structure for downstream editing.
What the engine does
The goal is simple: cut down manual transcription time so expert review gets the attention it needs.
Any document, any day
Throw a PDF, a Word doc, or a photo at it. We handle the input so you don't have to reformat everything first.
Context matters
The parser keeps headings, lists, tables, and image context so the Braille draft is easier to review.
Complex content included
Maths, tables, and technical notation are handled by dedicated conversion steps.
Consistent output
Consistent structure makes final QA and corrections faster.
Built by people who know the standard
Our team holds the BTEC Level 3 Advanced Award in Applied Contracted Braille. We know the standards because we've trained in them.
What you gain
- Speed. Get drafts in minutes, not days.
- Consistency. A reliable baseline for every document.
- Independence. Stop waiting for others to make your materials accessible.
Trust you can inspect
We label every public sample as Draft, Reviewed, or Verified. The trust page explains what those labels mean and what still needs human review.
