Accessibility
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of
content on our website. Below, you’ll find a few recommendations to help make
your browsing experience more accessible:
If you have trouble seeing web pages, the US Social Security
Administration offers these tips for optimizing your
computer and browser to improve your online experience.
- Use your computer to
read web pages out loud
- Use the keyboard to
navigate screens
- Increase text size
- Magnify your screen
- Change background and
text colors
- Make your mouse
pointer more visible (Windows only)
If you are looking for mouse and keyboard alternatives, speech
recognition software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking may help you
navigate web pages and online services. This software allows the user to move
focus around a web page or application screen through voice controls. If you
are deaf or hard of hearing, there are several accessibility features available
to you.
Closed Captioning
Closed captioning provides a transcript for the audio track of a
video presentation that is synchronized with the video and audio tracks.
Captions are generally visually displayed over the video, which benefits people
who are deaf and hard of hearing, and anyone who cannot hear the audio due to
noisy environments. Most of our video content includes captions. Learn how to turn
captioning on and off in YouTube.
Volume Controls
Your computer, tablet, or mobile device has volume control
features. Each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls.
Try adjusting both your device’s volume controls and your media players’ volume
controls to optimize your listening experience.
