Things that can help you use our website
Things that can help you use our website
Fonts to help people with dyslexia
There are free downloadable fonts available including Dyslexie and OpenDyslexic to help users with dyslexia or dyslexia-related issues. These can make our site easier to use.
Using the keyboard to move around
Some people find it easier to move through web pages using the 'Tab' button on the keyboard, and using 'Enter' to click on links and buttons.
Making things bigger – zoom and magnifiers
Zooming in makes the text and images on a web page bigger. You can use the 'View' menu in your browser, or you can press 'Ctrl' and '+' or 'Ctrl' and '-' on the keyboard.
Screen magnifiers let you look at small areas of the screen at a much bigger size. There are magnifiers built into your computer. Go to your computer’s settings. You can also download other magnification programmes to install on your computer, which often have more features.
Changing colours and fonts
You can change the colour of web pages to increase or decrease the contrast, or to invert the colours. You can also make the font size of web pages bigger. You can do this through settings in your browser (eg Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer). Sometimes you need to install 'extensions' or 'add ons' for your browser.
Using your voice - voice recognition
With voice recognition, you can talk to your computer. You can open programmes and do other tasks using your voice. Your computer comes with voice recognition programmes. Go to your computer’s settings. You can also download other voice recognition programmes to install on your computer, which often have more features.
If you can’t see the screen - screen readers
Screen readers will read out menus and buttons, web pages and documents to help you use the computer if you can’t see the screen. There are screen readers built into your computer. Go to your computer’s settings. You can also download other screen readers that have more features.
