Detailed Information

Below is a detailed description of how users can use the website more comfortably and effectively with various tools built into the browser and the website.

Navigating the Site with the Keyboard

This website allows users to navigate using only the keyboard. You can move through the website by pressing the “Tab” key, usually located on the left side of the keyboard. Each press of the key moves the cursor to the next element on the page, such as links to other pages or essential buttons. Pressing “Shift” and “Tab” simultaneously moves the cursor to the previous element. The focused element is highlighted with a color change and appears as a framed box. To activate this element (i.e., “click” on it), press the “Enter” key.

The first element available when navigating with the keyboard is a shortcut to the main content of the page – you can use this to skip navigation elements and go directly to the content of each page, which is especially convenient for screen reader users.

Text Size

There are three main ways to zoom on the website:

1. Built-in text sizes on the website
   This website has three different text sizes built in, which you can select by marking them here or in the “Settings” section in the top right corner of the website. When you choose a text size, all website content is enlarged accordingly.
   To disable zoom, press the “Refresh” button in the “Settings” section.
2. Browser’s built-in features
   All popular browsers allow you to zoom in and out or reduce the displayed content. To zoom in, press “Ctrl” and “+” keys simultaneously on the keyboard, and to zoom out, press “Ctrl” and “-“. An alternative is to hold down the “Ctrl” key and scroll up or down with the mouse wheel.
3. Operating system’s built-in features
   Windows 10 and Windows 7 have a magnifier – a program that allows you to zoom. Press the “Start” menu and type “Magnifier” (Start > Magnifier) and press Enter. A small overlay window appears, which can be moved with the mouse and zoom in on all content at various distances.
   On Apple computers, go to the “Apple” menu > System Preferences > Accessibility (or Universal Access) > Zoom.
   On Windows XP, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > Magnifier.

Changing Contrast

This website allows users to increase text contrast by changing content colors. The website’s contrast can be changed in three different combinations:

• White text on a black background,
• Black text on a yellow background,
• Yellow text on a black background.

To change the contrast, you can select the desired option here or in the “Settings” section in the top right corner of the website.

To disable contrast mode, press the “Refresh” button in the “Settings” section.

Using Screen Readers

A screen reader is software that attempts to identify and interpret what is displayed on the screen. This interpretation is then relayed to the user in audio form or through a Braille display.

The content of this site is created in accordance with screen reader technical standards. For example, images have “alt” text (a textual description of the image content), while buttons, content, and other practical page elements are placed and arranged so that the sequence of information read by the screen reader is logical and easy to follow.

Popular screen reader choices:

• JAWS (Windows)
• VoiceOver (OS X, free, built-in)
• NVDA (Windows, free)
• SystemAccess (Windows)

Audio Content

The audio content functionality is designed to listen to written text on the website in audio format. The ability to listen to written text is available for all published content that has a “Listen to content” icon. The icon is displayed when opening specific content under the heading.

Audio Content Transcription

Audio content transcription or converting audio content to text format is a functionality designed to allow audio content to be read. In places where the website has audio content, a transcription of the content or the audio content in written text form is also attached. For files with content in text format, a “Create audio transcription” button is displayed next to the file name. By clicking with the mouse or navigating with the “Tab” key and pressing “Enter” on the button, the content of this file will be displayed in text format.
