Features that support accessibility in eText

Pearson is committed to providing access to learners with disabilities and to removing barriers that may impede learning. Learn about our accessibility guidelines and roadmap.

Screen reader accessible

Pearson+ is accessible, but some titles may not be fully accessible.

  • For more information, open the eText, select More (3 dots icon), About, and then Accessibility
  • Audiobook is available in most titles. From an open page in your eText, select Audio (headphone icon) in the navigation menu

Adjusting display settings

In most eTexts, you can adjust color, text size, fonts, and other display settings on the Display settings screen in the app.

  • Color mode – Select Light, Sepia, or Dark
  • Text size – Drag the slider to increase or decrease text size
  • Font options – Select from 5 screen-friendly fonts
  • Character case – Choose upper and lower case or all caps
  • Line spacing – Choose no spacing between lines, moderate spacing or more open spacing

Display settings cannot be adjusted in the app for some eText titles, such as those in PDF.

When you’re reading an eText on your browser, select Display setting (display settings icon) from the navigation menu to adjust font size, color contrast or show/hide highlights. The color contrast option is not available for PDF eTexts.

Using audiobooks

From an open page in your eText, select Audio (headphone icon) in the navigation menu. The icon will turn red and the audio menu with play button and audio progress slider bar will become visible.

  • Select the play button to start or stop the audio
  • Drag the slider to advance or replay content

If you hide the audio menu while the audio is playing, the Audio headphone icon will be replaced by the Audio waves icon in the toolbar.
