PDF documents

There are also documents on the website in the PDF file format to download. In order to read these documents, an external program in addition to the web browser is sometimes required. An example of free programs that can read PDF files is Adobe Reader.

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, you must begin by downloading the BrowseAloud program.

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

keyboard commands. The content on the website has a logical order to make it easier for you to navigate using the keyboard.
