可视图形可以通过提高图形的线条和将印刷字母转换为盲文来访问。当这种转换是根据个别盲人的要求进行的时，它被称为私人触觉图形转换服务，这在日本还没有被确立为盲人的共同福利服务。因此，为了今后普及这项服务，进行了一次全国范围的用户调查。在202名受访者中，只有16人（7.6%）使用这项服务。提供这项服务最多的是盲文抄写圈，其次是盲文图书馆、盲文抄写志愿者以及朋友和熟人。转换最多的图形是地图。三分之二的客户使用这些服务的频率为几个月一次或更少。使用这些服务所面临的问题是图形转换的等待时间长，难以理解触觉图形，以及触觉图形制作所伴随的问题。对盲文图书馆网站的另一项调查证明，触觉图形转换服务提供商稀缺。
Visual graphics can be accessible by raising the lines of the graphics and converting printed letters into Braille. When this conversion is done on demand of individual blind person, it is called private tactile graphic conversion service, which has not been yet established as a common welfare service for the blind in Japan. Thus, for the future prevalence of this service, a nation-wide user survey was conducted. Among 202 respondents, only 16 people (7.6%) were using this service. The top provider of this service was Braille transcription circles, followed by Braille libraries, Braille transcription volunteers, and friends and acquaintances. The top converted graphics were maps. Two thirds of the clients were using these services at a frequency of once or less in a few months. The problems faced in using these services were long waiting times for the graphics to be converted, hardness to understand the tactile graphics, and the problems accompanying tactile graphics production. An additional survey for Braille libraries' Web sites proved the scarcity of tactile graphic conversion service providers.
