Button visually impaired

Button visually impaired automatically changes your site into a version for the visually impaired. The panel on the site lets visitors change the color scheme, the font size and family, spacing and images, and a speech synthesizer reads aloud the changes and the text you mark for it. Thanks to it, your site meets the needs of people with disabilities.
