At www.dundeeadvice.org we are committed to making all of our Internet documents accessible to everyone. To ensure this we continually review our site and modify pages to remove accessibility problems for people with disabilities.
Many documents on our web pages are in ASCII or HTML format, accessible to people who use screen reading software and to those with other vision impairments. Generally, we use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages and documents that are accessible by all visitors to the site.
Also our website currently uses Textic and Talklets software which can be viewed at the bottom of each page on the website. Talklets allow the viewer to highlight text on the webpage and have it read to the viewer. Textic allows the viewer to increase the font size of text on the page as well as highlighting it in several different colours or setting it to a reverse background for easier reading and contrast.
Currently, our website also contains documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files; and right now, many people who use screen reading devices can`t read them. To solve that problem, Adobe Systems. is developing several products designed to make PDF documents more accessible to screen reading software. Adobe's accessibility web pages at

(new window) describe their current progress. While those products are in development, we will provide text or HTML versions of our PDF documents when requested to do so.
