Summary

Most modern operating systems are capable of text to speech voice synthesizing.

This allows you to have your computer read entire webpages or selected text on your screen out loud to you.


For Windows, hold the Ctrl key and press the Escape key, then type "narrator" and then press the Enter key.

For Mac OS X, click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and go to "System Preferences", then choose

"Dictation & Speech", then click "Text to Speech". Check the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" checkbox.

Third party software is also available.

Increase the font size on any webpage

Most modern web browsers are capable of increasing/decreasing font sizes while on a webpage.

For detailed instructions please see the WCAG documentation page.

To increase the font size, hold the Ctrl key (Command key on a Macintosh) and press the + (plus) key.

To decrease the font size, hold the Ctrl key (Command key on a Macintosh) and press the - (minus) key.

To revert to the default font size, hold the Ctrl key (Command key on a Macintosh) and press the 0 (zero) key.

then "Ease of Access" and then click "Magnifier". Click the "Options" button and then move the slider to adjust the zoom increment.
