Changes apply as you choose them.

Theme
Font
Why these fonts?

Choose the font you find easiest to read. Studies have not found that special "dyslexia fonts" help people read faster or more accurately. More space between letters and words does help some readers, so try the spacing setting too.

Focus mode hides the Map and Help links, the breadcrumb and the footer, so only the page you are reading is left.

Reading voice and speed

Emma is a computer voice, made with the open Kokoro model. Her readings are saved on this site. Where a part has no Emma reading yet, your device's own voice reads it.

Reading speed

The number is how many times faster than normal. 1.5 is one and a half times as fast. The voice keeps its pitch.

Accessibility statement

Stillpool is made for neurodivergent learners first, so it is built to be used in different ways: by keyboard, by ear, in large text, with less movement and with fewer things on the screen.

Last updated 5 October 2026.

Our commitment

Anyone should be able to read, hear and use these lessons. If something stops you, that is a fault in the site and we want to hear about it.

The standard we aim for

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international rules for accessible websites. Stillpool aims to meet WCAG 2.2 at level AA. That is a target, not a certificate: it has not been audited by an outside body, and this page does not claim it is met everywhere.

What is tested

Every change to the site is held to these automatic checks:

  • An accessibility scan (axe-core, with its WCAG 2.2 rules) of every page in every colour theme: light, dark and high contrast.
  • A Lighthouse accessibility score of 1 on every page.
  • A contrast check of the colours used for text, links, borders and the focus mark, on every background, in every theme.
  • Tests that move through pages and activities with the keyboard alone, and check that the focus mark is visible.

These checks find many problems, not all of them. A person using a screen reader can find what a machine cannot.

Settings that help

The Settings button is in the same place on every page. Changes apply at once and stay in this browser.

  • Reading: the font, including one made for dyslexia, the text size and the space between letters, words and lines.
  • Colour and movement: light, dark, high contrast, or match your device, and a switch to reduce motion. The site also follows your device's own reduced motion setting.
  • Focus: a reading ruler, and Focus mode, which hides everything around the lesson.
  • Simple and Deep: each part is written in short, plain words first, with the detail one switch away.
  • Listening: Read aloud, with a recorded voice made for this site or a voice on your device, at normal speed or up to 1.5 times faster.
  • Text versions: a switch to show the activities as plain text.
  • Progress: a switch to hide your progress.

Every page can be used with the keyboard, and a link or control shows a clear mark when it has focus.

Known limits

  • A person has not yet tested the whole site with a keyboard and a screen reader. That pass is still to come.
  • The demo video is not out yet, so there is no captioned video.
  • Read aloud with a device voice depends on the voices your device has. A device with none can use only the recorded voice.

Report a barrier

Write to contact@neurobridgeedu.eu. It helps to say which page, what device and browser you used, and what stopped you. We do not promise a reply time, but every report is read. Method and wording follow theW3C guidance on accessibility statements (opens in a new tab).

If you are in Ireland and are not satisfied with a reply, you can contact the National Disability Authority atnda.ie (opens in a new tab).
