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.

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.
Closed Captioning
Closed captioning is a tool that provides a transcript for the audio segment of a video presentation 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 closed captioning on and off on YouTube.
Volume Controls
Your computer, tablet, or mobile device has volume control features. Each video and audio service has additional volume controls. Adjust your device’s volume controls and your media players’ volume controls to optimize your listening experience.
