Convert
Browse all convert toolsconverting documents into alternate/accessible formats with SensusAccess's self-service service: audio books (MP3 and DAISY), e-books (EPUB, EPUB3 and Mobi), digital Braille, digital large-print and BeeLine Reader outputs; OCR/remediation of inaccessible sources such as image-only PDFs, JPG pictures, PowerPoint presentations and LaTeX projects into more accessible formats; and machine translation of documents. The scope records the documented conversion, OCR/remediation and translation paths through the hosted web/email service, and explicitly excludes general PDF editing, extraction APIs, redaction, signing, PDF/UA/WCAG validation, accessibility certification and any output-quality guarantee
Where your files are processed

We observed a file upload to sensusaccess.com.
A hosted service: source documents arrive on the SensusAccess reception server, are processed automatically by agents, and the result is returned by email; the source is deleted. Target documents are available through coded links for up to seven days, then deleted, with possible email spam-filter copies.
Hosted in Sensus's own data centre in Denmark. Ordinary users need not sign up, but API/LMS integrations are a separate subscription with credentials.
What it does
SensusAccess is a hosted service that turns a document into a format somebody can actually use: audio in MP3 or DAISY, e-books in EPUB/EPUB3 or Mobi, digital Braille, digital large print, or a BeeLine reading view. It also remediates inaccessible material - image-only PDFs, JPG pictures, PowerPoint presentations and LaTeX projects - by OCR and rebuilding text, and can machine-translate documents.
Institutions license it so students, faculty, staff and alumni can convert documents themselves; a separate Remediator handles high-volume PDF remediation, and SensusComply is manual remediation. This record covers the self-service converter, not those other services.
The service is hosted in Sensus's own Danish data centre and is free of registration for ordinary users, while institutional use requires a service agreement. It is a conversion/remediation service, not a validator, editor, redaction/signing tool or accessibility certification.
Best for
Universities, colleges and libraries with a duty to provide accessible course material, where a student can convert a document on their own rather than wait for a specialist. It is aimed at institutions, and its formats - audio, e-books, digital Braille, large print and a reflowable reading view - are what it is for.
Worth knowing
It is a hosted service, so documents are uploaded: source documents are received on SensusAccess's reception server and processed there, and for personal data that is a decision rather than a detail. It is institution-facing - pricing is by service agreement, with no published figure and no self-service institutional sign-up - although ordinary users do not have to register.
The formats are the point and the limit: it converts and remediates, but it does not check a document against PDF/UA or WCAG and will not tell you whether one passes, so it does not replace a validator. Its remediation is largely an OCR-and-rebuild operation; a document with a structure problem rather than a text problem is not what it is for.
The brand covers three services: the self-service converter, the high-volume Remediator, and SensusComply manual remediation; their limits are not the same and are not inherited here. The notice records that the source is deleted after processing, delivery files are kept for up to seven days, and copies may sit in email spam filters, so deletion is not one immediate event.
No permanent free tier is documented; demo/trial access is separate.
Details, and where each comes from
Vendor statements, our own reading of their pages, and the things nobody has established yet, each answered separately. Where we have not confirmed something it says so rather than guessing, and a row nobody has established is greyed out.

Institutional service agreement from Sensus ApS. The free/self-service interface does not require ordinary users to sign up, but institutional use (including organised instruction) requires a service agreement and is monitored; commercial resale is prohibited.
No public price is published. A demo/trial route is offered, but it is not a permanent free tier.
The API/integration access needs its own subscription/credentials.

What the redaction verdict rests on
From the vendor's own documentation, read 22 September 2026. Not tested by us.
What that does not establish
Recorded as `none` on absence: the service description is a list of what it produces - audio, e-books, Braille, large print, BeeLine reading views, translations and remediated documents - and redaction is not among them, nor is any claim to remove content from a PDF it returns. What it does not establish: what the remediated output contains.
A document put through OCR and rebuilt is a new file, and the service makes no claim about what happens to the original's hidden data; a reader treating this as a redaction step would be using it for something it does not describe.
What the vendor says
Claims are labelled rather than repeated as fact. Where we have checked something ourselves, it says so and shows when. Checked means we read the vendor's own page and it says what we recorded - not that we tested the behaviour, unless the note says we did.

How we checked
Read as rendered text in headless Chrome on 2026-10-01 and saved to the evidence archive, so the read can be repeated against the same file. Comparison ignores case, punctuation and hyphenation, which is why "open-source" on the record matches "open source" on the page.
