Sensus Access

Sensus Access is a self-service tool that allows staff, students and researchers to make resources more accessible by converting 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.

Sensus Access can only be used for converting documents/resources that:

• You own the copyright of, eg resources you have written/authored or;
• You have permission to convert from the copyright holder or;
• The copyright has expired or;
• The document conversion is for someone with a print disability
