Point: Online Symbol Support Point is an online tool enabling website visitors the support of Widgit Symbols to access text-based information. Point offers a way to make online content accessible to those who may have problems reading it, without altering the appearance of the webpage.
Using Point is Extremely Simple: By hovering the mouse over a word, a small box will appear containing a symbol(s) illustrating the meaning of the word. The online visitor has total control over this symbol support and the amount of symbols they see, knowing that the support is there for any words they are having difficulty understanding. If the online visitor feels confident in reading a web page without symbol support, they can choose to turn Point off by clicking on a small button at the top of the screen. The online text then behaves as normal, with no symbol support appearing when the online visitor hovers their mouse over a word. If the individual visits another page within the website and struggles to understand the messages within the text, Point can easily be switched back on.
