TABLE OF CONTENTS

Introduction

YuJa Panorama is an accessibility tool that allows you to access certain digital documents in different formats to meet your needs.  This can be most useful if you are using a screen reader or access the course with your tablet.


Accessing Alternative Formats

To see if you are able to access an alternative format for a document, look for a blue person icon next to the document.  


If you see a gray person icon, your instructor has disabled alternative formats.  If there is no icon next to the document, alternative formats are not available.


Click on the icon to activate the popup box for alterative formats.  There are a number of ways you can access the document; however, the most popular ways include a PDF, EPUB (for tablets), and the immersive reader to personalize the reading experience.  



  • Source File: View the document in its original format, suitable for download viewing.
  • PDF: View the document in PDF format, suitable for both online and download viewing.
  • Text File: View the document in a pure text format without any formatting styles, suitable for both online and download viewing.
  • Immersive Reader: Allows for customizations to text preferences, grammar options, and reading preferences while following along with the audio playback. 
  • Gradient Reader: Enhances visual word recognition when reading by providing a guiding color gradient. 
  • EPUB: View the document in the ebook format, suitable for any ebook reader application.
  • Braille: View the document in the braille grade 2 format, suitable for download viewing (a braille reader is required).
  • Audio Podcast: Audio playback for documents, suitable for both online and download listening.
  • Enhanced HTML: HTML documents can be displayed in a dedicated tab to customize the appearance of the document using the Website Accessibility tool.
  • OCR: Convert images with text into machine-encoded text that can be searched and read by screen readers.


Immersive Reader

With the immersive reader, you can adjust the background and text color, increase the font size and line spacing, and even translate the document into a different language.  Explore Panorama's Overview Guide for the Immersive Reader (opens in a new tab) for additional ways you can personalize your learning with this incredible tool!
