I will use this to go towards another light novel to transcribe. Requests are welcome :)
I'm a certified UEB braillist making more books accessible to blind and visually impaired readers, because everyone deserves to have access to books. Your support makes it possible to transcribe more books! Every little bit helps. Every year about 1.7 million books are published, and few are made available in braille. It's been shown that literacy for the blind and visually impaired is one of the most important factors in success. 75% of people who are illiterate depend on government assistance. About 45 million people are blind or visually impaired, most in developed countries, with 70% of blind people being unemployed, while 85% of adults who read braille are employed. But how can people read braille if so little is available? And, of what is available, many are governemnt documents or textbooks - certainly not what the average person reads in their spare time! With your help, we'll be able to greatly expand what is available. These BRF files can be sent to anyone and embossed anywhere that has an embosser, making books available across the nation. The current goal is to have twenty new books by the end of 2022, and hundreds of new books available in the coming years. Please consider joining other supporters if you are able. Your small donation will make more books accessible to millions! If there is a light novel you would like to see transcribed please let me know! For a list of what novels are done, click on the link.

How can I get a BRF file? To comply with the Chafee Amendment, I will need to see a Proof of Disability form signed by a qualifying professional. When you provide documentation, I can send the BRF files. emeryl (at) sakuracities.com Is there a charge? No. I'll give the BRF files for free to anyone who has proper documentation. If you wish to support this effort, feel free to make a donation! I think I found an error? Please remember that these are all being done by a single person and I'm working quickly. Mistakes are inevitable. It's standard practice to leave print errors as well, so sometimes a mistake will be from the original text. If you believe you've found a mistake, please let me know. What is the cost of a light novel? It depends on the light novel. At times I may also purchase two copies - one print, one digital. Having a digital version can make the process much faster, but I need print page numbers for the transcription. For example: The print version of Ascendance of a Bookworm (Vol.1) is 14.85, and the ebook version is 6.99, making it 21.84 (not including taxes) for me to do Ascendance of a Bookworm. Some books have no ebook. Final Fantasy VII: The Kids are Alright: A Turks Side Story and Final Fantasy VII: On the Way to a Smile, for example, were done completely by hand. What would you do if you received a lot of support? I would buy an embosser and offer to emboss books essentially at-cost. A braille book can easily come to 200-400 sheets of paper. Normally, you could expect to pay around $.16-$.17 per embossed sheet. This means a short 200 sheet book would be $32. The cost of the paper itself would be around $.07. Add the cost of two binders to put it in ($7) along with other minor expenses and I could probably do it for around $25. Note: In America there is an option to ship called "Free Matter For The Blind". The cost of shipping braille can be $0. Keep in mind that the embosser I would want is the Juliet Pro 120. This is about $4,700, so this would be quite a high goal! It's just an example of what I could do should this page ever find unexpectedly high success. Of course, with enough supporters like yourself the cost of embossing books could be covered, too. Are there any ways to give support if I have no money? Yes! Referral links help support me. All books I've transcribed have referral links for purchasing them, too. https://sakuracities.com/braille/braille.html https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/Emeryl http://www.fiverr.com/s2/0cf45d39d7
