Eye-Able® assistance software
This website uses the Eye-Able® software from Web Inclusion GmbH to provide users with a barrier-reduced view of visual content. Eye-Able® helps to adapt the website to the individual needs of visitors. The Eye-Able® range of functions includes - an adaptive font enlargement, - a free adjustment of color contrasts, - a read-aloud function with integrated keyboard navigation, - a blue filter, - a night mode, - an instant view for connecting several functions, - a compensation of color weaknesses and - further functions for an individual view of the website such as a larger mouse pointer, sans serif font and the hiding of images, animations and sound.
The corresponding menu can be opened by clicking on the Eye- Able® icon or using the keyboard shortcut "ALT + 1". All functions can also be controlled using the keyboard (instructions via "ALT + F1"). You can find more information at: www.eye-able.com
