This tutorial shows you how to use tools like Translate, Listen, and Display Edit to support varied learning needs within many Gale resources.

[00:00:04.980]
Gale's accessibility tools support varied

[00:00:07.309]
learning needs for all types of users.

[00:00:09.380]
Our resources provide consistent layouts

[00:00:11.589]
and labels that aid assistive technology

[00:00:13.849]
and size to fit any device including

[00:00:15.970]
laptops, tablets and cell phones.

[00:00:18.679]
At the beginning of a session, users can select

[00:00:20.870]
the translate option at the top of the page

[00:00:23.329]
to translate the interface of their resource

[00:00:25.370]
for navigational support. This translation

[00:00:27.850]
will change all the navigational buttons

[00:00:29.859]
and search options and remains throughout the duration

[00:00:32.319]
of the session.

[00:00:33.689]
While on a document, users can select

[00:00:35.789]
the document translate button to translate

[00:00:37.899]
the text within the entry as well. In

[00:00:40.009]
addition to translation, users can increase

[00:00:42.408]
or decrease the font size and adjust the

[00:00:44.469]
font settings including the background color,

[00:00:46.529]
preferred font and line, letter and word

[00:00:48.798]
spacing. These font preferences will

[00:00:50.829]
continue throughout the session allowing users

[00:00:52.880]
to spend more time engaging with the text.

[00:00:55.270]
Our listen tool allows users to have any

[00:00:57.408]
article read aloud and the settings options

[00:00:59.770]
provide additional customization including

[00:01:01.969]
text highlighting, reading speed and

[00:01:04.138]
enlarged text to support users reading

[00:01:06.168]
along with the speaker. Users can also

[00:01:08.260]
download the MP3 file to take the content

[00:01:10.459]
offline and listen when it's convenient for them.
