Make the screen easier to use (Aa) and take a break

Bigger text, high contrast, easy-read letters, reading aloud, a calm screen and more, on your own device. And a break when you need one.

For students

  1. 1

    Press "Aa"

    It is at the top of the screen, next to your answers and the hand button.

  2. 2

    Choose what helps you

    • "Text size": A to A+++.
    • "Letters": "Easy-read" or "Clear letters".
    • "High contrast": black text on white.
    • "More space" between letters, words and lines.
    • "Read each question aloud" and "Slower voice".
    • "Calm screen", "Hide the countdown" and "Less movement".
    • "Tap instead of drag": bigger buttons, move things by tapping.
  3. 3

    Press "Done"

    Your choices stay on this device next time. "Back to normal" undoes them. Things your teacher turned on show "Turned on by your teacher".

  4. 4

    Take a break

    Press βœ‹ and "β˜• I need a break". Your teacher is told quietly, and in a test with a time limit your clock stops. Press "I'm ready to go on" when you are ready.

Using a screen reader or keyboard

  • Each new question is focused, so it is read out first.
  • "Answer saved", "Not sent yet" and time warnings are announced.
  • Pictures are described when your teacher has added a description.
  • Drawing questions cannot be answered without drawing; use Raise hand to ask for another way.
