Additional PROOFREADING We offer the service of your translated documents being proofread before being published. Proofreading will help to ensure that you have the most consistent, accurate, and grammatically correct translation available. It can make all the difference, not only in conveying the correct message, but also in maintaining your image. TYPESETTING We are able to assist / advise you with documents that you have already typeset before they are published. Alternatively we also provide a service where we can typeset the translated text, mirroring the look and layout of the original document. BRAILLE Oliver Grange offers Braille services for the visually impaired. We cover both Un-contracted and Contracted types of Braille but have found that in general most people use Contracted Braille, as it offers a much shorter form and is considered easier and quicker to read and write.
TRANSCRIPTION Oliver Grange offers Braille services for the visually impaired. We cover both Un-contracted and Contracted types of Braille but have found that in general most people use Contracted Braille, as it offers a much shorter form and is considered easier and quicker to read and write. VOICE-OVERS We offer a wide range of voice-over services and use only native speakers as it helps to ensure the quality of pronunciation and voice characteristics. Our editing facilities enable us to meet your sound and duration requirements.
