While not an exhaustive list of functionalities, the Ally+ Toolbar assists individuals with the following disabilities categorized under one of the four main areas: Visual, auditory, ambulatory and cognitive. I am blind or I have difficulty seeing – Visual Using the Reader view of the Ally+ Toolbar visitors are able to easily increase the size and style of the font, as well as load the website using an un-cluttered layout that focuses on text only. Additionally, low or no-vision users can have text on the site read back to them using the integrated audio Player. I have difficulty hearing – Auditory Any audio content will include closed captioning or provide access to a text-based version of the video via transcript. I have difficulty using a mouse and/or keyboard – Ambulatory By using the Ally+ Toolbar, all of the functions are available through the use of a keystroke and do not require the use of a mouse or other pointer device. Additionally, Voice Navigation is also available for visitors to talk to the website and control functionality using audio commands via their device’s microphone. I have difficulty with words and/or reading - Cognitive In addition to the ability to use a special font to aide visitors with dyslexia, the ability for visitors to have content “read back” to them via the Audio Player eliminates any reading or word-related challenges.
