Have our website read out loud to you
If you have difficulty reading the words on our website you can listen to them instead.
You can get software called Browsealoud which will read aloud the text on our website. It is free to download and install on your computer. Some Internet browsers have similar features built in.

Browsealoud can also be used on more than 2,000 other websites in the UK and USA.
To find out more about Browsealoud and to download it, visit the website www.browsealoud.com/downloads.asp
You can change Browsealoud settings by double clicking on the Browsealoud icon in the system tray at the bottom of the screen.
Moving the mouse normally controls Browsealoud. If you can’t or don’t use a mouse, you can use mouse keys. You can then control the cursor with your numeric keypad. To do this on a PC:
- Click the Start button or press the Ctrl + Escape keys together to display the Start menu.
- Click on Settings or press the S key until the settings menu is highlighted and press Enter.
- Click on Control Panel or press the C key until Control Panel is highlighted and press Enter.
- Double click on Accessibility or press the A key until accessibility is highlighted and press Enter to display the accessibility options dialog box.
- Click on the Mouse tab, or press Ctrl + Tab until the mouse tab is at the front.
- Click the checkbox marked Use MouseKeys or press Alt + M to turn MouseKeys on.
- Click OK or press Enter to return to Windows.
You should now be able to use the number pad on your keyboard to control the mouse cursor.
