- Navigate all of the website using speech recognition software.
- Use all of the website with a screen reader (including the most recent versions of NVDA and VoiceOver).
- Navigate the website on a mobile device.
We've also made the text in the website (including user guides) as simple as possible to understand. AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have different needs.
