[Athen] Sensus Access?

SensusAccess (or Robobraille) is the engine that we use under the hood 
for our SCRIBE system. While we use Abbyy Finereader Corporate, the OCR 
functionality provided by SensusAccess is the Abbyy Recognition Server. 
  It works great for the exact situation you describe - i.e., when a 
student gets an image-only PDF document.  Documents that are highly 
structured or have multiple languages do not always convert well, but 
overall, it gets the job done.

I believe the PDF output for the SensusAccess tool is set as a tagged 
PDF document.  It does not automatically add headings or image 
descriptions, but at least the reading order can be controlled.

Take care,
Sean
