The widget offers a broad selection of functions that you can mix and match to meet your individual accessibility needs.

Each of the functions below can be turned on or off and most can be set to your requirements. 

The UserWay widget includes optional settings for:

  • Getting around the website with options for keyboard navigation, screen reading and a large cursor option. 

  • Reading options including increasing the text size, changing fonts/typefaces, highlighting links, text spacing and tooltips to show alternative text and aria labels.

  • You can tailor the presentation of the webpages you visit by toggling the light and dark mode options to adjust contrast themes, colour inversion and the option to stop animations.
