What is the Ally File Transformer?

The Ally File Transformer is an online tool that helps you to personalise your learning experience.

You can use the Ally File Transformer to convert files into alternative formats to suit your needs, devices, and learning preferences. For example, you may have a Word document that you want to transform into an audio file so that you can listen to the content. Or perhaps you require a PDF that has undergone Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
