Your guide to Kortext\u2019s text and language accessibility features<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kortext is committed to making learning accessible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re constantly working to improve the experience for everyone, regardless of any disability or impairment, so that all students have the tools they need to reach their goals.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll explore our accessibility features, starting with options to customise text and language in our EPUB books.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s an EPUB? We\u2019re glad you asked! EPUB is an open eBook format allowing you to study on all your devices, with more accessibility options and has better readability than a standard PDF.<\/span> (You can tell if you are viewing an EPUB if you check the website URL.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Font styles<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re using a browser, to change the font, just click the “TT” icon (also called “Display options”) in the top-right corner. This opens a “Typeface” menu with various font choices. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One helpful option is OpenDyslexic \u2013 a font with weighted bottoms and unique shapes that make reading easier for people with dyslexia by improving letter recognition and reducing visual confusion.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Text size<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

To change text size in your browser, just click on the “TT” icon, then go to “Text size”. Use the “-” or “+” buttons to make the text smaller or larger, depending on what works best for you.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"showing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If <\/span>you\u2019re<\/span> on the Kortext app, tap the “AA” icon in the top-right corner of an open EPUB. This will give you a few different text size options to choose from.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having adjustable text size can make a big difference, especially for people with low vision, dyslexia, or other learning needs. Plus, it\u2019s handy for reading on different screen sizes and works better for translated content since text length changes with each language.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Multiple languages<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kortext supports international students and those who speak English as an additional language.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using a browser, to change the language, open an eBook and click on the “TT” icon. Then, go to the “Languages” drop-down menu, where you can choose from ten different languages, including Arabic, French, and Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\n
