Document Conversion
In an ongoing partnership with the Disability Services Center, UCI Document Management’s document conversion service supports independence and agency among our campus community members with disabilities. Students, faculty, and staff can utilize this service to convert their digital files into a range of alternative formats, including digital Braille, audio files, and e-books. This service, provided by SensusAccess, also supports a variety of languages to provide a helpful solution to otherwise inaccessible formats.
Compatible Formats
Refer to the SensusAccess File Conversion Matrix for the full list of convertible formats. The file type that you may create will depend on the uploaded file format.
Important: Please note that this service is NOT sufficiently secure for the transmission of highly sensitive information, as defined by UCI Information Security and Privacy Policies.
