BrowseAloud
The website works with BrowseAloud. BrowseAloud is an aid that means that the web speaks. BrowseAloud reads websites and PDF files aloud, marks the text that is read aloud, saves read speech as MP3 files and gives you the possibility of using a reading ruler or cut-out to keep focus on what you are reading. BrowseAloud is free for you as a user. To get started and use BrowseAloud, click on the icon on top of the website.
Text spacing and zoom
You can use the web browser’s built-in functions to zoom in and change spacing in text. In most modern web browsers, you zoom in by pressing Ctrl/Cmd and + or Ctrl/Cmd and - to zoom out. You can also increase the spacing between characters, words, lines and paragraphs using, for example, your web browser or a magnification aid.
Keyboard navigation
You can navigate on the website with a key using different
keyboard commands. The content on the website has a logical order to make it easier for you to navigate using the keyboard. You may need to adjust settings in your web browser for the tabbing to be turned on or to work optimally. The website uses no keyboard commands of its own, which means that you can use your keyboard just like usual.
