Features: Configuring the Accessibility Options

The Features tab is your central control panel for customizing the user-facing accessibility widget. Here, you can select which accessibility features and capabilities you want to offer to your website visitors. Each option can be enabled or disabled with a simple toggle, giving you complete control over the tools available.

As you enable or disable features, the Preview pane on the right provides a live, interactive demonstration of how the widget will appear to your users. Features marked with a PRO tag require an active license to be used.

Feature Menu

The menu is organized into four distinct categories of adjustments:

1. Content Adjustments

These tools help users modify the display and readability of the text and content on your site.

Content Scaling: Allows users to globally increase or decrease the size of all elements on the page.

Readable Font (PRO): Converts text into a more readable, dyslexia-friendly font.

Highlight Titles (PRO): Places a distinct visual highlight on all headings (H1, H2, etc.).

Highlight Links: Makes all clickable links more prominent.

Line Height: Adjusts the vertical space between lines of text.

Letter Spacing: Modifies the space between individual letters.

Text Alignment: Allows users to force text to be left, right, center, or justified.

Dictionary: An integrated tool for looking up word definitions.

2. Color Adjustments

These options assist users with visual impairments or color blindness.

Grayscale: Renders the entire page in shades of gray.

Contrast: Applies a high-contrast (dark or light) color scheme to the site.

Color Saturation: Lets users control the intensity of colors on the page.

3. Navigation Adjustments

These features improve the ease with which users can navigate and interact with your website.

Page Structure: Creates a clickable, structured map of the page based on headings and landmarks for quick navigation.

Big Cursor: Enlarges the mouse cursor for better visibility.

Pointer Trail: Adds a decorative trail that follows the user's mouse cursor, making it easier to track on screen.

4. Orientation Adjustments

These tools help users who are sensitive to motion or require different ways to focus on content.

Screen reader: A built-in text-to-speech reader for on-screen content.

Reading mask (PRO): Creates a focused reading bar that follows the cursor, hiding the rest of the screen.

Pause animations: Stops all animations, GIFs, and moving background elements.

Reading Guide: Adds a horizontal line that follows the cursor to aid in reading lines of text.

Hide images (PRO): Replaces all images on the page with their descriptive alt-text.

Highlight links: (This is a more prominent visual highlight for navigation).

Highlight Hover: Visually emphasizes elements as the user hovers over them with the mouse.

Magnify Images: Allows users to zoom in on images.

Tooltips: Displays text from title and ARIA attributes in a visible tooltip.
