This accessibility statement applies to the Newport City Homes website..
Using our website
We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software
We’ve made the website text as simple as possible to understand. We have also installed the Reachdeck Toolbar.
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
- most of our PDF and Word documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software
Using the ReachDeck Toolbar
Click on the round orange button (with the white translation icon) that can be seen in the bottom left corner of the website to launch the ReachDeck Toolbar.
You will see it launch in the top of your screen. Now click on the first ‘pointed finger’ icon on that toolbar and hover your mouse pointer over any text on our site to hear it read out loud.
How does the ReachDeck Toolbar help?
The ReachDeck Toolbar will help you to read and translate the content on our website. Its features include:
- Text-to-speech: click on or select any text to hear it read aloud
- Translation: translate content into over 100 languages
- Text magnification: enlarge text and hear it read out loud
- MP3 generation: convert selected text into an MP3 audio file
- Screen mask: reduce glare with a tinted mask
- Web page simplifier: remove clutter from the screen. Display only the main text.
Here’s the ReachDeck toolbar user guide for further guidance or watch their short video:
