The Enhanced Accessible Index provides a nearly fully supported accessible experience that contains a subset of Starfall content, including our primary learn-to-read series.
Visit the Enhanced Accessible Index
The Enhanced Accessible Index is easy to navigate with custom-designed activities that are screen-reader compatible, keyboard accessible, and completely captioned. Settings can be adjusted on the Accessibility Settings page, linked near the bottom of the index. Additional features are documented below.
Caption Size and Video Play Speed
You may set caption size up to 200%, video speed up to 200%, and adjust other features, including a mute key in Accessibility Settings.
Keyboard and Dual-Switch Devices
The Enhanced Accessible Index is designed to function with two keys on a keyboard or dual-switch device:
- Tab key to navigate.
- Enter key to select.
If a keyboard is used, Shift-Tab can navigate backward on most systems. Note that preferences must be adjusted on Mac X to enable tab key functionality on Safari and Firefox browsers.
Optional Keyboard Controls
In addition to the basic keyboard controls above, Starfall also provides optional interactive keyboard controls:
- Space-bar to toggle stop/start *
- Right/left arrow key to move forward/backward *
The action of the arrow keys depends on the activity. For example, in longer books they move a reader to the next/previous page. For individual songs, they move playback forward or backward 10 seconds.
* Screen readers may require bypass keys for these optional controls to function.
