User Guide for Accessibility Features

This website is developed according to EN 301 549 V.3.2.1 accessibility standards. This means that special technologies and processes have been used to make the content more accessible for people with disabilities.

In addition, better accessibility can be achieved by configuring some browser and operation system tools. This page provides information about those possibilities.

Keyboard-only navigation

This website allows visitors to navigate using only the keyboard. Navigation works by pressing the Tab key repeatedly. Every keypress brings the focus to a next element, ie. link or a button. The element currently in focus is highlighted by a colour change and a framed box around it. To activate this element (ie. “click on it”), press the Enter key.

The first element you reach when navigating with the keyboard is “Accessibility”. This opens a modal with the option to switch the page design to high contrast and restore the default settings. In addition, this modal contains a link to the RMK Accessibility notice and the User Guide for Accessibility Features.

Zooming

With a browser

All popular browsers allow zooming in and out by holding down the Ctrl key (Cmd key in OS X) and pressing either the + or – keys. Or alternatively hold down the Ctrl key and scroll up or down with the mouse. You can return to normal size by pressing the Ctrl and 0 keys at the same time.

In your operating system

Windows 7 includes “Magnifier”, a program that allows zooming. Press the “Start” menu and type “Magnifier” (first letters should do it) and press Enter. A small overlay window appears that can be moved around with the mouse and zooms everything in it.

Browser extensions

For web browsers, there are extensions available that enable you to zoom in, adding to the existing functionality of the browser. For example, there is Zoom Page for FireFox, which allows you to enlarge the entire page as well as only the text. For Chrome there is AutoZoom.

Changing colours

On this website, it is possible to adjust the contrast of the content to make reading easier. To enter the high-contrast view, press the Tab key or move the mouse to the “Accessibility” link in the header and select “Black and yellow text”. The website will refresh, and the text colour will change to yellow, with the background turning black.

Using a screen reader

A screen reader is a software application that attempts to identify and interpret what is being displayed on the screen. This interpretation is then re-presented to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons, or a Braille output device.

The content of this website is created in accordance with the screen reader technical standards. For example, pictures have Alt tags, special text-based descriptions; video windows have textual descriptions about what is happening on the screen; structural elements are placed and ordered so that the order of the information read by the screen reader is logical and easy to follow.
