Transcription Service

This service records, at short notice, items which blind people wish to read urgently. It does not matter whether it is in connection with work, study or leisure pursuits; the only basis for acceptance is that access is needed to it quickly and that other tape reading services cannot deal with it on time. For more information contact:

The Transcription Centre,
67 High Street, Tarporley,
West Cheshire, CW6 0DP.
Tel: 01829 732115.
