Our platforms are for everyone, which is why we have a wide offering of accessibility features on our programmes.
SPEAK AND HEAR ANSWERS
We provide the ability to verbally convey answers through our ‘speak answers’ feature, as well as the option to ‘hear answers’, aiding those with visual or motor impairments.

Speak answers:
How to activate:
- Click on avatar (top right-hand corner)
- Click on ‘Settings’
- Click on ‘Speak answers’ and/or ‘Hear answers’ (left-hand menu)
- Toggle ‘on’
COLOUR-BLIND FRIENDLY COLOUR SCHEMES
Users can opt to play in the Gene Simmons colour scheme (black and white), so there are no red/green elements. This is particularly beneficial for viewing the heatmap.
How to activate:
- Click on avatar (top right-hand corner)
- Click on ‘Settings’
- Click on ‘Colour blind theme’
- Toggle ‘on’
FRIENDLY FONTS
Huge font: does exactly what you’d expect! It makes the font as big as we can reasonably make it, helping visually impaired learners.
Lexie font: Designed for better readability for dyslexic students.
How to activate:
- Click on avatar (top right-hand corner)
- Click on ‘Settings’
- Click on either font option (left-hand menu)
- Toggle ‘on’
DECLUTTER
Using declutter mode…well… declutters the screen!
By removing the ‘clutter’ (timer, images, numpad), the interface is simplified, reducing the amount of potential distractions. This can help to improve children’s ability to focus, meaning they feel more zen whilst playing!
How to activate:
- Click on avatar (top right-hand corner)
- Click on ‘Settings’
- Click on ‘Declutter’ (left-hand menu)
- Toggle ‘on’
SCREENREADER SUPPORT
We have also added support for screenreaders, allowing visually impaired students to be able to navigate around the site themselves.
All web browsers have their own screenreaders – please search on how to set the screenreader up for your learner’s particular browser.
