L-Mail.com announced an online Braille letter writing service earlier today. Customers can type their messages online and the company will translate and send a postal letter within 24 hours to any location in the world. L-Mail.com, the online letter printing and posting service, teamed up with Canada-based transcribers The Braille Superstore to create the service.
Peter Harris, Managing Director of QiQ, the company behind L-Mail.com said: “Whether an individual wishes to communicate with a blind friend or a business wishes to stay ahead of accessibility laws we believe this new cost effective service can help".
Craig Faris of The Braille Superstore said: “It’s never been easier for friends or co-workers to communicate with Braille readers. And perhaps best of all, you can use the very same site to send letters to anyone on your list - whether they happen to read regular print or Braille!”
L-Mail recently launched an online system to automate the production of standard letters called the Integration Account, which can also be used to generate Braille letters. Braille encoded letters, depending on location and exchange rate, cost around £5.00 each.
