How to Use This Calculator

Enter Source Pages — the number of print pages you need converted to braille.
Set Format: 1=Interpoint (double-sided, most compact), 2=Single-Side (easier to produce), or 3=Jumbo (large cells for low vision).
Set Binding to 1 if the braille document needs comb binding for volumes over ~100 braille pages.
Review Braille Pages — braille typically expands print text by 1.5–2.5x depending on format.
Use Total Cost to budget translation and production; factor in Production Cost and Binding Cost separately.

How the result changes with Source Pages

Source Pages: Number of print pages to convert to braille
Format (1=Interpoint, 2=Single-Side, 3=Jumbo): Interpoint (double-sided) is most space-efficient; jumbo has larger cells
Binding (0=No, 1=Yes): Add comb binding in volumes of approximately 100 braille pages

Identify Input Parameters
Source Pages = 20, Format (1=Interpoint, 2=Single-Side, 3=Jumbo) = 1, Binding (0=No, 1=Yes) = 0 = 3 input(s) provided
