They use transliterations in the book "New Testament Words" by William
Barclay. But when they show the eta, it is shown as a graphic which speech
isn't reading if you are blind and reading it with speech.

This is difficult, as the purpose of your transliteration must be known.
For example, if you want your readers to properly pronounce the Greek
word, most frequently the letter i would be needed. But, if you need to
reflect linguistic or historical accuracy, e with a line over it
(makron) is needed. NOTE:
pericope, agape, exegesis, etc. These reflect correct English spellings
for the words but do not suggest the correct pronunciation (pericopi,
agapi, exigisis, respectively). I think you get my drift...
