[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

Anyone can take the transcription class. Materials will come in braille upon request.

But don't you have to be sighted to do the Braille transcription classes? I have very liittle vision, and most paper just looks like blank white pages to me (3/350 in one eye only, with no peripheral).
Will they allow a blind person to do the transcription classes? I thought that was for sighted people only? Maybe I'm just being ignorant, but that was my opinion of the program...
