SENSUS Access is a free to use self-service conversion tool for creating documents in accessible formats. You can use it to convert documents into a range of alternate media including audio books (MP3 and DAISY), e-books (EPUB, EPUB3 and Mobi) and digital Braille. The service can also be used to convert inaccessible documents such as image-only PDF files, JPG pictures and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations into more accessible and less tricky formats.
Upload your original document, choose the output format you require, and the converted document will be emailed to you. Please use your @uea.ac.uk email address.
Please note that the quality of your conversion will depend on the quality of the original you upload. For how-to guides and best practice, visit the SENSUS Access Help pages.
