(626) 818-9832
victorhemphill@charter.net
He has been a Library of Congress certified transcriber in literary braille for almost 40 years, having been certified on September 30, 1965. He has worked continuously as a transcriber since certification. He is also a "lettered" proofreader under the program that granted letters to sighted transcribers who had taken and passed the standard proofreading course. He has been doing Nemeth Code for more than 20 years, but he is NOT certified in Nemeth Code.
He uses the latest version of Duxbury for his transcribing. He has OmniPage Pro Version 12.1 for scanning. He also has full graphics capabilities, and uses the Index Basic D embosser which has interpoint capability. He can bind with 19-hole plastic spines using translucent heavy plastic covers with the volume information embossed on the cover, or he can bind in 3-hole standard binders. He ships by FREE MATTER FOR THE BLIND, by priority USPS or by UPS ground, 2nd day air or overnight. He has access to certified proofreaders for both literary and Nemeth Code if the client desires. He follows the format rules as outlined by B.A.N.A. He is a life member of the N.B.A. and the V.A.V.F. and maintains current membership in C.T.E.V.H.
For the past 15 years he has specialized in Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian, and in technical works requiring partial or full Nemeth Code. All work is interpoint embossed on 11 x 11-1/2" paper unless otherwise requested.
He accepts only one assignment at a time and work strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. He completes a work before billing. All work is filed with the Louis catalog at A.P.H.
As a general rule of thumb, his prices are:
Straight English language text, using Textbook format -- $2.00 per braille page.
Portuguese, Spanish, Italian or French language text -- $3.00 per braille page.
Technical work requiring substantial use of Nemeth Code, or work totally in Nemeth Code -- $3.00 per braille page.
Graphics: $10.00 per graphic.
If you have any work that you have not been able to find someone to do, please contact him. Upon request, he will be happy to provide the names of clients, agencies or students for whom he has worked.
He teaches the Library of Congress Literary Braille transcribing course on line using the Duxbury Perky-Duck 6-key entry program, and he also provides training in the use of the Duxbury Braille Translation Program, always using the latest version. The price for either of these courses is $250.00 and training is done over the telephone. Furthere details regarding either of these courses is available upon request.
