Quick Tips

How to change the colors and fonts on a page

Some people like to change colors or fonts to see words more clearly. Most major web browsers have options to do this:

  1. In Chrome, go to “Preferences”, activate the “Show advanced settings” link, go to the “Web content” heading and change the “Font size”, “Customize fonts” in other ways, or set default “Page zoom”.In Internet Explorer, go to “Tools”, then “Internet Options”, on to “General”. From here, select “Colors, Fonts, or Accessibility”.
  2. In Internet Explorer, go to “Tools”, then “Internet Options”, on to “General”. From here, select “Colors, Fonts, or Accessibility”.
  3. In Mozilla Firefox, choose “Options”, then “Content”, then finally “Fonts & Colors”.
  4. In Safari, select “Preferences”, “Appearance” tab, and then hit the “Select…” button next to the font fields.
    Using a mixture of settings like enlarging font size and zooming into the browser  works for a better experience.

How to zoom your screen to make it bigger

Some people like to zoom into the screen or web browser in order to see things better. Here are a few ways of doing it depending on your setup:

  1. On Windows, press the Windows key and plus sign (+) at the same time to zoom in. You can also use the “Magnifier” application under “Accessories”.
  2. On Mac, go to “System Preferences”, open “Universal Access” and select the “Seeing” tab. Check the box under “Zoom” to “On”.
  3. On your Apple device, tap “Settings”, then “General”, then “Accessibility”. Tap the “Zoom” button and toggle it “On”.

Another trick is to use “Ctrl” (“Cmd” on Mac) plus the plus (+) key to zoom in or the minus (-) key to zoom out when you’re in a web browser.

How to use accessibility tools on your mobile device

There are a lot of great features on your smart phone. iOS and Android provide many tools to help you access what you are looking for.

VoiceOver for iOS and TalkBack for Android are the screen readers that come built-in. To turn on VoiceOver, go to “Settings”, then “General”, to “Accessibility”, and then turn “VoiceOver” on. You can set the “Accessibility Shortcut” to “VoiceOver” from the “Accessibility” page in order to triple-click the “Home” button to toggle VoiceOver on and off. TalkBack has a similar feature.

“Zoom”, “Magnifier”, “Invert Colors”, “Color Filters”, and “Reduce White Point” are other features and tools on iOS that you can use. These are also available through the “Accessibility Shortcut”.

How to find and use a screenreader

Screen readers are text-to-speech software that allow people to read and interact with content in different ways. Many people who cannot perceive what is on the screen will use them to allow audible access to web content. GNO FCU strives to ensure that our content is accessible to screen readers.

There are free options available including NVDA for Windows and VoiceOver for Mac.

Screen readers accept input in a variety of ways, but one of the most common forms is through your keyboard.
