EASE OF ACCESS CENTRE - WINDOWS 7

The Ease Of Access Centre is where Windows lets you set up your computer to suit you - how the screen looks and how the mouse, sounds, and the keyboard behave. There is a magnification program called Magnifier and a very basic speech facility called Narrator for emergencies when your screenreader doesn’t work. It is well worth spending time to make your computer life easier. A seeing friend can help you with Ease Of Access if you’re a beginner.

To get to the Ease Of Access Centre, type "ease" at the Start Menu and press ENTER. TAB to explore the following options:

1) GET RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE YOUR COMPUTER EASIER TO USE: takes you through a set of screens where you can plan for your level of eyesight and other challenges;

2) USE THE COMPUTER WITHOUT A DISPLAY: takes you to another screen where you can start Narrator to give basic Windows speech, turn on audio description for some videos; turn off unnecessary animations, or lengthen the time pop-up messages stay on screen so that you can read them and follow the instructions.
