SensusAccess automatically converts 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
Students and staff
Students and staff can either use SensusAccess further down this page or from Moodle (you will need to sign in to your Moodle account).
From Moodle you can also search for "Sensus Access".
