Producing large print documents for visually impaired readers is not as simple as most people imagine – it is about much more than just increasing the font size. Shortcuts like photocopying onto large paper lead to poor quality documents that your customers are unable to read, and on huge pieces of paper that are difficult to hold and use.

Large Print transcription includes the use of text that is larger than usual, but there are many other differences as well. Large Print transcription involves:

• Correct font styles, colours and weights – suitable for readers that need large print;
• Proper use of emphasis options within the large print text;
• Good use of colours, colour combinations and colour contrast;
• Careful text layout and alignment, including adjustment of inappropriate features such as columns which should be avoided in large print documents;
• Correct text and line spacing;
• Adaptation and redesign of complex items such as tables, graphs, charts and forms, appropriate for large print
• Suitable paper size, colour, weight & type; and
• Top quality printing of your large print documents
