Convert your document into an accessible document

Northwestern provides a tool to convert your documents into an accessible format.

SensusAccess is an easy-to-use online tool that helps you convert text and image-based files into more accessible formats. You can use it to transform your files into different formats, like audio, Braille, or e-text.

While SensusAccess is designed to support accessibility, it won’t make a document fully accessible on its own. However, for images and image-based PDFs, it can create a readable, tagged document that just needs a few simple manual tweaks to achieve full accessibility.

Supported file types are .DOC, .DOCX, .PDF, .PPT, .PPTX, .TXT, .XML, .HTML, .HTM, .RTF, .EPUB, .MOBI, .TIFF, .TIF, .GIF, .JPG, .JPEG, .BMP, .PNG, .PCX, .DCX, .J2K, .JP2, .JPX, .DJV, .TEX, .ZIP and .ASC
