What is SensusAccess?
SensusAccess is a self-service platform for making your documents more accessible.
The service allows Brown students, faculty, staff, and alumni to convert inaccessible documents (e.g. image-based PDFs, JPEG photos, PowerPoint presentations) into more accessible formats. The service can also be used to automatically convert documents into a range of alternate media including audiobooks, e-books, and digital Braille.
SensusAccess is available to anyone with a Brown email address, in support of creating a more inclusive campus and workplace.
To get started
Upload source material on this page using your Brown email address and you will receive an email with your converted document.
| Note: Learn more about the tool and accessibility best practices by visiting the Sensus Access E-Learning Course. |
