How We Can Overcome Communication Barriers

How we can overcome communication barriers
Here are some ways we can overcome these barriers:

  Zoom in or out Microsoft Word

Quickly zoom in or out of a document, presentation, or worksheet on the status bar, click the Zoom

slider. Slide to the percentage zoom setting that you want. You can zoom in to get a close-up view of your

file or zoom out to see more of the page at a reduced size. You can also save a particular zoom setting

with a document or template, presentation, or worksheet.

Narrator

Narrator reads dialog boxes and window controls in a number of the more basic applications for

Windows. Narrator can assist a blind person in installing a full-function screen reader, assisting the user

until his/her screen reader of choice is up and running. Narrator can provide speech when a full

function screen reader might be unable to do so, such as during the process of updating hardware drivers.

Concept keyboard

Each key can be programmed with a wide range of different functions. After the keyboard is programmed,

a sheet, called an overlay, is placed over top to identify each key. They do not require memorization of

shortcut keys. They’re easy to clean, and are much more resistant to spills or dust.

Touch screen

Easier to use if you have problems with your arms etc. (don’t have to stretch out your arms to use it, it can

be right next to you/on your lap if it is portable). Can take it anywhere you want (it just has to be charged

in order to work). There is a variety of touch screens for you to choose from (each with a different battery

life etc.)
