About multiple formats

We offer our forms and publications in multiple formats for persons with a visual impairment. Many are available for download from our Web site in Braille and E-text. They can also be ordered in Braille, E text (CD or 3 1/4 diskette), audio cassette, audio MP3, or large print format using the Multiple Formats - Order Form.

To order forms and publications in regular print, use our Online order form.

Persons with a visual impairment can also request to receive their personal correspondence from the CRA in an alternate format. For more information, call 1 800-959-8281.

Braille (BRF)

We provide Braille documents (BRF files) for download from our Web site in contracted Braille (grade two Braille), formatted to 40 characters per line and 25 lines per page. BRF files are suitable for use in Duxbury, for review on a refreshable Braille display, or for output to a Braille embosser. See our list of Documents available in Braille.

E-text (accessible electronic text)

E-text, also known as text-to-speech, is used for voice synthesizers. E-text files can be downloaded and used with common word processors such as Microsoft Word or Notepad. See our list of Documents available in E-text.

E-text voice is available on 3 1/4 diskette or CD.

Large print

Large-print documents can be ordered using the Multiple Formats - Order Form. Letters in large print are 6 mm (1/4 in.) high (18 pt. sans serif font). See our list of Documents available in large print.
