Text Only Mode is an option that can be turned on in Ebook Central when using a screen reader such as JAWS or VoiceOver. When you access Ebook Central using a screen reader, your screen reader will read out instructions for turning on Text Only Mode. Once turned on, Ebook Central's interface changes to a text-based view and you can use the screen reader to read the text on the screen and control navigation.
Since Text Only Mode is tied to a particular Ebook Central patron account, you must be signed in to an account in order to turn it on and to access books in the text-only mode. If you are a librarian who would like to see a demonstration of how Text Only Mode works but do not have access to a screen reader to test on behalf of a patron, you can view our
demonstration video.
Once Text Only Mode is enabled, your screen reader will read out instructions on toggling the mode off in case you ever need to disable it.
You can also turn on Text Only Mode through your Ebook Central account profile settings. See
How-To-Turn-Text-Only-Mode-On-or-Off-on-Ebook-CentralPlease contact the
Ebook Support team to request Text Only Mode if you cannot enable it directly using your screen reader or via your account settings.
You can also use your screen reader with chapter download or full document download on Ebook Central. From the Detail Page, use your screen reader to either download the complete book using Adobe Digital Editions, or use chapter/page-range download to get parts of the book as a full-text PDF.
You can then open the downloaded book in Adobe Digital Editions and use the screen reader to read the text of the book, or you can open the full-text PDF and use a screen reader to read the text of the downloaded portion of the book.
Please note: when Text Only Mode is turned on the highlight function is not available.
