Web Accessibility Help

There are actions you can take to adjust your web browser to make your web experience more accessible.

I am blind or can't see very well

If you have trouble seeing web pages, the US Social Security Administration offers these tips for optimizing your computer and browser to improve your online experience.

Use your computer to read web pages out loud
Use the keyboard to navigate screens
Increase text size
Magnify your screen
Change background and text colors
Make your mouse pointer more visible (Windows only)

I find a keyboard or mouse hard to use

If you find a keyboard or mouse difficult to use, speech recognition software such as Dragon® NaturallySpeaking may help you navigate web pages and online services. This software allows the user to move focus around a web page or application screen through voice controls.

I am deaf or hard of hearing

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, there are several accessibility features available to you.

Transcripts: A text transcript is a text equivalent of audio information that includes spoken words and non-spoken sounds such as sound effects.
Captioning: A caption is transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks. Captions are generally rendered visually by being superimposed over the video, which benefits people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio (e.g., when in a crowded room). Learn how to turn captioning on and off in YouTube https://youtu.be/1gWpmuHAjsU.
Volume controls: Your computer, tablet, or mobile device has volume control features. Each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls. Try adjusting both your device's volume controls and your media players' volume controls to optimize your listening experience.

Steps we’ve taken to improve accessibility.

We utilize the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.0 level AA as the accessibility standard. This includes providing the following functionality or content in all areas possible:

Alt tags describing the purpose of the object for images, video, audio, plug-ins and other objects
Device agnostic – responsive build
Text descriptions for complex graphics
Captions for video; descriptions for audio
Links to video (rather than embedding), with additional links to media player downloads and transcript of text
Pages free of strobe effects or flashing images
Links to disability-accessible pages with downloadable accessibility plug-ins
Accessibility accommodations for scripts, plug-ins, Java applets, PDF, PowerPoint and other files as well as their content
