This accessible two session course will help you feel more confident using the accessibility features already built into your smartphone or tablet.

Introduction to Smart Device Accessibility explores tools such as magnification, adjusting font size, contrast settings and voice assistants. You will learn how to use voice commands to send messages, make calls and search for information, and how small adjustments can make your device much easier to use.

The course is suitable for partially sighted people who have some usable vision and may be finding it harder to read text on their device. If you would like to learn how to adjust display settings and visual accessibility features, this course could be a helpful step.

Sessions are small and supportive, giving plenty of time to explore the features together and ask questions.

Places are limited and booking is essential. To discuss whether this course is right for you and to book your place, please contact Sight Support West of England on 0117 322 4885 or email info@sightsupportwest.org.uk

If group sessions are not suitable, one to one Digital Skills support is also available at many of our Community Sight Loss Advice Hubs. This may be more suitable if you are completely new to technology and not sure where to start, or if you have a specific question about your device. Support is tailored to what is most useful for you.
