Adjusting font size
Here are simple instructions for the most common browsers:
Google Chrome: From the menu select the customize button (≡ 3 dots) and then select Settings. In the Appearance section choose your font size from the drop-down menu.
Safari: From the main menu select View > make text bigger.
Alternatively, hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel on your mouse.
Magnifying the screen
In addition to enlarging the text in your web browser, it is also possible to use electronic magnifying glasses to zoom in on areas of the screen to make it easier to read small text or to get a closer look at the images. Most PCs and Mac computers will have screen magnifiers built in, but alternative ones are also available to download sometimes for free.
Screen read aloud
It may not be sufficient to just increase the text size or use screen magnifiers so you may benefit from using a screen reader. Mac OS X 10.4 and above has this function built in, but for Windows, you will need to download software to do this.
Windows Screen Readers: Natural Reader is free online text to speech software that will read web pages out loud for you. Window-Eyes is another professional screen reader which also has support for braille displays.
Mac OS X Built-in Screen Reader: From the Apple menu select System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing . You can activate VoiceOver (also called Spoken Interface on older versions) which will read aloud the text to you through your computer speakers. VoiceOver which comes with Mac OS X 10.4 and above is a fully functional screen reader.
Images
To make things easier for screen reader users, images have descriptive alternative text. If the image is purely decorative or part of a link, the alt text is null. We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
Downloading documents
Some information is provided information in PDF (Portable Document Format). Some of our PDFs documents are essential to providing our services. For example, our booking terms and conditions are sent to you by email as a PDF attachment. If you cannot open the PDF you can download Adobe Acrobat Reader for free.
Changing colours
We have tried to use colours that make our web pages easy to read, but we know that some people have trouble with reading text on certain colours. Some browsers do have options to allow you to use your own colours.
