Introduction
Successful access to information and use of information technology by people who have disabilities is known as “accessibility.” Following W3C guidelines helped us understand why and what we need to do to make our technology and information accessible to people with disabilities.
Below you will find some information on how you can use this site and what are designed to facilitate this.
How to enlarge the text so that it is easier for me to read?
You can use the built-in zoom option on your browser. In Internet Explorer, which is usually in the menu View->Text Size. In the Firefox menu View->Zoom. In the Opera menu View->Zoom.
Is the mobility side of the keyboard I use?
Yes. The site has been prepared so as to benefit from it by using only the keyboard is not making problems.
What are PDF files and how can I read?
PDF is an Portable Document File. This is the most popular file format when you want to keep a uniform appearance of the document regardless of the computer on which it was watching. To read PDF files you need a free program called Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader for Windows .
How do I view Microsoft Word files, Excel and Power Point, if I do not have Microsoft software?
There are free browser software created by Microsoft:
You can also use the software Open Office, which is a complete package of office read all the files from Microsoft Office.
My browser is out of date. How can I get a new or an update?
As a rule, on the Help menu of your browser is the internet address to which you can refer to for the latest updates. The most popular browsers are:
What is RSS?
RSS (most commonly translated as “Really Simple Syndication”) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.[2] An RSS document (which is called a “feed”, “web feed” or “channel”) includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using software called an “RSS reader”, “feed reader”, or “aggregator”, which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based.
What are the advantages of RSS-s?
A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. You can subscribe to a feed by entering into the reader the feed’s URI – often referred to informally as a “URL” (uniform resource locator), although technically the two terms are not exactly synonymous – or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.
Accessibility
This site has been prepared so that everyone can benefit from it, regardless of restrictions. The guidelines for this have been identified by the W3C in a document called the WCAG, which defines requirements for creating online content available to a wide number of people with disabilities, including blind, low vision, hearing problems, learning problems, with some restrictions cognitive, motor, speech problems, light sensitivity or with others. Compliance with these guidelines, the site is more accessible for most users, including the elderly. It also permits access to content from different types of equipment, such as mobile, as well as screen reader software.
Compliance with standards
- All parties will be tested by Truwex Online 2.0: Section 508 and WCAG Accessibility, Privacy, Quality Assurance Tool, Contrast Ratio Calculator, Color Contrast Analyzer and should meet the AAA accessibility. However, such a statement is always only approximate evaluation. Many items related to accessibility can be measured, but many can not be measured.
- All parties shall comply with the guidelines laid down by the U.S. Federal Government Section 508.
- All pages are validated as XHTML 1.0 Strict. This is not only our mind, but a precise statement. Validator can determine with 100% accuracy whether a page is a valid document XHTML.
- All parties use semantic markup. Tags
Hxare used to indicate the main title and sub-titles. - Despite making every effort, you can not exclude errors. If you see an error – please report it to us.
Links
- Many links contain
titleattribute describing the link in greater detail, unless the link text is in itself no longer accurately describes the target document (such as the title of the article). - The text of links is chosen in such a way that, if possible, can be understood even outside the context of sentences, which are.
- Links that lead to external resources, are specially marked by the arrow at ⇗ link.
- Most of the links to the Fittz’s law. Fitts’s law (often cited as Fitts’ law) is a model of human movement in human-computer interaction and ergonomics which predicts that the time required to rapidly move to a target area is a function of the distance to and the size of the target. Fitts’s law is used to model the act of pointing, either by physically touching an object with a hand or finger, or virtually, by pointing to an object on a computer display using a pointing device).
Images
- All images and graphics presentation include
altattributes with a description. Purely decorative images contain emptyaltattribute.
Graphic design

- Even if your browser or device that reads the web page does not support CSS in general, the entire contents of each page is still easy to read.

Software associated with the accessibility
- JAWS is a screen reader, a software program for visually impaired users, produced by the Blind and Low Vision Group at Freedom Scientific of St. Petersburg, Florida, USA. Its purpose is to make personal computers using Microsoft Windows accessible to blind and visually impaired users. It accomplishes this by providing the user with access to the information displayed on the screen via text-to-speech or by means of a braille display and allows for comprehensive keyboard interaction with the computer. It also allows users to create custom scripts using the JAWS Scripting Language, which can alter the amount and type of information which is presented by applications, and ultimately makes programs that were not designed for accessibility (such as programs that do not use standard Windows controls) usable through JAWS.
- Window-Eyes is nothing less than the most stable screen reader available on the market today. Featuring Windows 2000, Windows XP (Home, Professional, and Media Center), Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista (all 32-bit versions, including Vista Ultimate, Vista Home Premium, Vista Home Basic, Vista Business, and Vista Enterprise) and Windows Server 2008 compatibility, Window-Eyes puts you in the hands of the most powerful screen reading software ever created.
- Home Page Reader,
- NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) is a free and open source screen reader for the Microsoft Windows operating system. Providing feedback via synthetic speech and Braille, it enables blind or vision impaired people to access computers running Windows for no more cost than a sighted person. Major features include support for over 20 languages and the ability to run entirely from a USB drive with no installation.
