How Tactile Graphic Conversion Works
gh provides the service of converting complex information contained in documents into LaserLine™ graphics. gh accepts a variety of media formats, including PDF, HTML, Word, and JPEG, as well as the print document(s) to begin the conversion process. It begins with our dedicated computer graphics team designing the graphic and addressing issues such as proper pattern fill selection, placement of Braille labels, and spacing between lines.
The drawn graphics are then examined for clarity, readability, and Braille accuracy by a certified Braille transcriber. Once the design is approved, the graphic is released for tactile production. The graphic goes through a thermography process and is eventually bound into a Braille book or bound separately, as in the case of a map.
