SensusAccess offers a number of different conversion options to transform image-based and text-based documents into alternate and accessible formats. In general, text-based files may be converted to other text-based file formats or MP3 audio formats. Image-based file formats will first be converted into text-based versions using optical character recognition (OCR) before being converted to the desired format type.
Here is the original SensusAccess Conversion Matrix PDF.
