Special settings for disabled users
At Opera Software we believe it is of utmost importance that the web and the Internet is available to all. Therefore we have made Opera the most flexible and powerful Web browser available for those users with physical disabilities. In addition, the fact that Opera runs well on older computers makes it also a pleasure for all those who are already incurring additional expenses because of their disability.
Full keyboard navigation, a completely customizable interface and a powerful zoom function are but a few examples of Opera's power and user-friendliness. This means that in designing the program we strive to make the program as flexible and user-friendly as possible. A number of features have been incorporated that are useful for people with different types of disabilities. We are the first browser to offer this kind of features.
- Full keyboard interface. Browse by using the keyboard. Single key navigation possible! Browse client side ISMAPs!
- Zoom function. Zoom the contents to any level. Includes BOTH graphics and text.
- Change the text size in Opera's toolbars and menus to improve readability.
- Some skins offer the opportunity to enable larger images for toolbars
- Remove menus, scrollbars, etc. Do not fill the screen with unnecessary items (if you use the keyboard and not the mouse).
- A fullscreen mode to remove all traces of Opera's Graphical User Interface.
- Invert marked links when selecting them via the keyboard: better screen-reader recognition.
- Toggle document and user settings: turn off fancy fonts and designer-dictated font sizes and settings.
- Select the font you want for the different HTML headers and text. Select any color.
