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 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 on
YouTube.
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.
