ABOUT US

A single, accountable vendor for accessible documents

Alpaca Language exists because organizations shouldn’t have to piece together a braille solution from a translator, a print shop, and a shipping vendor. We built one team to own the whole job. Transcription, embossing, and delivery, all in a single point of contact.

OUR STORY

Started to close a compliance gap, not just a language gap

Alpaca Language was founded in the Sacramento region after watching healthcare, financial, and education organizations struggle with the same problem: ADA and HIPAA obligations require accessible formats like braille, but most vendors only handle one piece of the job: transcription or printing. This often left the client to manage the handoffs and the risk in between.

We built Alpaca Language to remove that friction. One vendor, one contract, one point of contact, from the moment a source document arrives to the moment finished braille ships to a patient, member, student, or employee.

OUR COMMITMENT

We pride ourselves on the quality of every project we deliver. We strive for accurate transcription, careful production, and dependable turnaround every time.

HEADQUARTERED IN

Sacramento, California — serving healthcare, financial, business, and education clients nationwide.

WHAT SETS US APART

Built differently, on purpose

One vendor, start to finish

Transcription, embossing, binding, and shipping all happen under one contract, no coordinating between separate vendors.

Security by design

Sensitive source files are handled inside a secure, HIPAA-compliant workflow built to keep your data protected at every step.

In-house production

Embossing and binding happen in-house, not at an outsourced print shop, so we control quality from first draft to final copy.

Credentialed transcribers

Every project is transcribed by a Library of Congress–certified braillist, working to Grade 2 UEB and BANA formatting standards.
WHY IT MATTERS

Braille isn't a courtesy — it's often the law

THE NEED

7M+

Americans live with vision loss or blindness

Many rely on braille for independent, private access to the same forms, statements, and materials that everyone else receives in print.
