[NFB-Braille-Discussion] Braille transcribers and perkins braillers

[Sahar's Beaded Creations]

Totally blind people can absolutely be braille transcribers. I am one, and I
have a friend that did it for 25 years.

Warm regards,

Hi,

Correct me if I am wrong, but when you take the transcriber certification
course, you have to write a 35-page manuscript using a perkins brailler or a
slate. So I am guessing that braille transcribers still use perkins
braillers for some stuff? 
My next question is do you have to be a sighted person in order to be a
braille transcriber? Or can totally blind people also be braille
transcribers for certain material these days and either have their own
transcribing business, or work for a company transcribing materials?

Josh
