| Many
dyslexic workers who require reasonable adjustments under the DDA suffer
from Visual Stress, which can often be easily remedied at a low cost
with Crossbow Coloured Overlay products. However there is also a large,
hidden population in the workplace whose effectiveness is hampered by
undiagnosed Visual Stress that slows down their reading and affects
their concentration and productivity.
|
How much is this costing your organisation? |
|
||||
 |
Does paperwork do this to any of your employees? | ||||
| Conclusive research from Essex University (Wilkins et al 1997) has shown that around 22% of the population are affected to varying degrees by VISUAL STRESS, a condition believed to be caused by a white page or screen background over-stimulating certain cells in the brain and interfering with the reading process. Dyslexic people seem to be particularly prone to Visual Stress.

|
The use of a tinted overlay OF THE SPECIFIC COLOUR REQUIRED BY THE INDIVIDUAL screens out the "glare" from the white background and stabilises the print, making reading easier and more comfortable. |

|
Crossbow coloured overlay products
are proven in the Education sector, where they are already
increasing reading speed at 50% of the schools in the UK; and are
now used by the Police, the Ministry of Defence, the Prison
Service, at a number of banks, building societies, and other corporations,
and at regional access centres across the country.

| Speed up reading and copying from printed documents: Eye Level Reading Rulers | |||||
 The Plain window Reading ruler marks the line being read and removes the glare from the page area |
Eye
Level Reading Rulers are great for reading and keeping place when
word-processing from a printed document. Available as Plain Window pattern
(left) or Duo (right). Ten colours.
|
The Duo window Reading ruler is recommended where more concentrated focus on individual lines or paragraphs is required, and where "pattern glare" (white rivers that appear to run between the words) is a problem. |
|||
| Eye Level Reading Rulers are inexpensive, handy and portable, slipping easily into a pocket notebook or similar, and so are an effective reasonable adjustment in a job situation requiring access to the written or printed word in a mobile context. | |||||

Dyslexic people are particularly vulnerable to interruptions, due to processing problems and short-term memory deficit. Use of the Virtual Reading Ruler overcomes screen glare and allows the reader to keep their place on the document being viewed when interrupted by a phone call or a colleague. The Virtual Reading Ruler can be used with any document, including web pages.
An easily configured, mobile coloured overlay for all computer work, the VRR works just like an ordinary reading ruler, removing the glare and stabilising the print on any area of the page. At the same time it can mark the specific line or paragraph being read. It can be used with any application - including the internet - and moves with the mouse. Colour, size, shape and reading bar configurations can be tailored for the type of documents being viewed and the individual requirements of the user, and these settings are autosaved when the VRR is closed.

Use the Virtual Reading Ruler, with or without underlining, to highlight areas of your screen as you make your presentations. | |||||||||||
|
|
Because of the VRR's elegantly leightweight coding, you can launch
independent reading rulers from the same computer onto multiple
windows and multiple screens without slowing down the machine, and
without having to upgrade your licence. This make it excellent for
multi-screen design and financial sector spreadsheet work. |
