You can choose between MP3 audio, Braille, E-book, or an accessibility conversion.
When choosing MP3 audio, Step 3 is to specify Audio Options. There are several languages to choose from, as well as the desired speed you would like the text to be read. Make sure you listen before uploading tons of files, you may discover you like things slower, faster, or with a British accent ;)
When choosing Braille, you will need to specify Braille options, including the language, contraction level, as well as the target format.
When choosing E-book, Step 3 is to specify E-book Options. This includes EPUB, EPUB3 with media overlay, or MOBI (Kindle). You can also adjust the font size from normal to huge (40 point).
When choosing Accessibility Conversion, you will need to choose from a variety of target formats like DOC, DOCX, RTF, Tagged PDF, XLS, htm, and more. These options are here because some screen readers work better with a Word document rather than PDF and all PDFs are not created equal; if a PDF hasn’t been tagged, it will not be organized nor will the images be labeled for a screen reader to perceive the order or information. Please see the SensusAccess article for information on how to tag a PDF
