About SensusAccess
SensusAccess is a self-service platform for automatically converting documents into a more accessible format for people with print disabilities. It allows you to convert inaccessible documents (e.g. image-based PDFs, JPEG photos, PowerPoint presentations) into more accessible formats. It can also be used to convert documents into a range of alternate formats including Word, HTML, ePub, mp3 and digital Braille.

SensusAccess does not collect or retain personal information and keeps copies of documents only as long as needed to convert them. However, for security reasons please do not upload documents that contain sensitive or confidential information.
