#  Convert a File 

 



Use the form below to submit an **automated conversion** of your file, text, or URL into another format such as an MP3, word document, e-book, braille, or accessible tagged PDF.

Note: automated conversions are not as good as those done by an actual person. [Learn more about creating accessible documents](/accessible-documents) or take an [accessible document training](/calendar/upcoming/das-events/documents-trainings).

While these conversions may not be fully accessible, they can often improve the existing material and bring it closer to a useful document.
