Screen readers
The Alzheimer Scotland website is screen reader friendly. If you have difficulty reading text on screen or just prefer to listen, you can use screen reader technology. Screen readers are able to read any text that is displayed on the screen to the user. For more information please see the useful links below:

For examples of the type of free and premium products available for use, read the RNIB’s information on screen readers. 

Find out more about how screen readers work from this BBC video. 
More information on technology which can help, including information on the iPad’s screen reader, check out the RNIB’s website. 
Text resizing and colour

If you find the text too small to read or the contrast/colour on web pages unclear, there are different ways you can change how you view the website. For example, can change settings on your web browser or computer to improve readability of websites.
