Welcome to Essentially Braille! We are so glad you came by. Whether it is Braille transcriptions, cards, books, or other materials, or just simply help learning, we are happy we can serve you!
This exciting business was started by Tonya (Johnson) Drew, and Jennifer Rieth. Our website helper is Ben Drew and proofreading by Jeffrey Friedlander.
With rising costs, we are constantly looking for ways to keep our cost to you down, making Braille accessible and affordable to those that want to read it. Please contact us for a quote.
Do you love reading, braille, and just want access for free? Contact us as we do have a few titles we are authorized to give you free of charge or fee for materials only (under $10).
