About acccessibilty and our web pages
External links
At The Dolphin we are constantly striving to keep our pages up to date.
We start with a idea, a graphical presentation of what we are trying to achieve. We convert that to HTML and then begin the process of making the content of the pages and the accessibility process cleaner and clearer.
Our final aim is to make all our content across the business W3C standards compliant - we are small, as our resources improve we will get quicker.
A free version of text to speech software can be found on the NaturalSoft web site.
You can download and use the free version to read web pages to you, or you can purchase more voices to add to the software.
Accessibility and Firefox

The site also contains useful guidance on web accessibility overall.
WebbIE is a browser specifically designed for web users who are...
'...blind and visually-impaired people, especially those using screen readers. It comes with the Accessible programs, letting you access news and audio on the Internet in a simple and accessible way, allowing you to use podcasts, listen to the radio and read RSS and news with your screen reader or other access solution'. (Copy webbIE web site).
The browser has large buttons and offers the opportunity to view sites in text only format.
A good design test too...does your site still make sense with all the images removed?
Thunder Screen Reader software:
Used in conjunction with webbIE, the Thunder Screen reader will read text to you as you browse or type.
A range of voices are bundled with the software and the controls are easy to adjust for speed and context.
