If you require music that isn’t available in the collections above, we can support you to get what you need. Please read the summary below, and find detailed information in our guide to requesting accessible music from RNIB.
Requests from individuals
RNIB’s Personal Transcription service is undergoing a period of transition. The service will remain free for eligible customers until the end of March 2026, with RNIB covering the costs incurred where the service is provided via an external provider, A2i Transcription Services, an organisation steeped in accessibility for more than 20 years.
Although RNIB is no longer providing personal transcription directly, we are focused on addressing gaps where transcription is not available at the source.
Please call the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or email [email protected] for further advice and information on how to place an order for your personal transcription work. We’ll work with A2i to fulfil your order as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Requests from businesses or organisations
If you are enquiring from a business or organisation, RNIB’s commercial Transcription service can convert your print music notation into Modified Stave Notation (large print) or braille.
Our highly skilled team of transcribers have individually amassed over 20 years’ experience in turning the most complex scores into accessible outputs. We work with individual customers as well as examining boards, schools, universities, and commercial organisations to provide music for exams, study, performances, or leisure. We can also offer a modification service for examinations.
Our service is ISO 9001, 22301 and 27001 accredited. For more information about the service, see our page about RNIB’s Modified Stave Notation and braille music transcribers.
