Listening to Gransnet Posts

I was having a grumble on another thread about how this site fails miserably on accessibility standards for web design so it's good to know that there is adaptive technology that can assist.

I think there is a lot of adaptive technology available, it's finding it that's the problem. I tend to stumble across it.

I use a Mac which has in-built Read & Speak which you switch on through the System Settings.

There's also Voice Over - Command + F5.

I have an android phone but don't know how to highlight text

You should be able to touch, hold and drag. Or tap shift and drag the keyboard key. Does that work?

Thanks for the info OldFrill like you I tend to stumble across things or someone like you is kind enough to point it out.

Thank you

It works on the desktop site as well, I've just discovered. On my Chromebook I can highlight the text, right click on my mouse and a "listen" option will come up. Thank you Old Frill!

Elusivebutterfly, to highlight text, place your finger on the first word and drag it along the line of text. It should show up blue. A list will appear either above or below your highlighted text, with cut copy etc. Select the one you want, and Bob's your uncle.

Thank you Minimoon but that does not work for me.
Graphite sorry but I have no idea how to do that.
Luckily I have no reason to want to listen to Gransnet. I am not bad at things on the laptop, but find the phone much more difficult.
