Hello,
Translating a book into Braille is pretty simple, you put it into DBT or
Braille Blaster and hit translate. Then you read and edit the formatting to
be correct. The price of the book would then be the cost of embossing +
shipping + cost of labor + margin.
Most transcribers are freelancers, so if you would like a transcriber, just
google Braille transcriber, and you will find some.
Thanks,
