Accessibility Settings

Glossbe, a popular dictionary and language learning platform, provides various accessibility settings to ensure that its resources are accessible to users with disabilities. This section explains the main accessibility features and how to enable them.

• Keyboard Navigation: Glossbe offers keyboard navigation for users who prefer typing over mouse interactions. Users can switch between definitions, synonyms, and related words using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+U or Cmd+U on a Mac.
• Text Size: The platform allows users to adjust the text size by clicking on the three dots next to the title in any dictionary entry. This enables users with visual impairments to increase or decrease the font size without needing to use a keyboard shortcut.
• Focus Mode: Glossbe's focus mode enables users to highlight and select specific words or phrases by clicking on them. This feature is particularly useful for individuals who are blind or have low vision, as it allows them to navigate the dictionary more efficiently.

Glossbe also provides alternative text for images in its dictionary entries, ensuring that users with visual impairments can still access and understand the content. Additionally, the platform offers a range of other accessibility features, including closed captions for video content and audio descriptions for multimedia materials.
