The ReachDeck Toolbar gives your visitors a choice in how they understand your digital content. So naturally, we want you to have a choice in how the Toolbar appears on your website.
Follow our simple step-by-step guide below to tailor your Toolbar. And you’ll have the code you need to add it to your website.
But first, check out our four tips to tailoring your Toolbar.
At the first step, you’ll be able to choose your launchpad type and launchpad appearance.
The launchpad type refers to whether you'd like the launchpad to be fixed or floating on a web page. A floating launchpad moves with the user as they scroll down the web pages on your site. A fixed launchpad means you can place it on your website exactly where you'd like it. And that's where it stays, meaning it won't accidentally hide any of your content from view. That's why it's our recommended option.
In terms of the launchpad appearance, you can choose from a few different options. Click on the drop-down menu and select to view each one. You'll notice we have a recommended option. It has universally recognised symbols, and a localised label that speaks for itself.
When you’re happy with your choices, click ‘Next’.
Now it's time to personalise the Toolbar.
During this step you can:
Here, you can select advanced options. For example...
Once you've completed selecting all your options, click 'Save & Finish'.
You'll then be brought to the last section, and given your code. It’s the code you need to add the launchpad to your website.
To add the Toolbar to your site, follow the instructions given in the portal. If you don't have access to your Content Management System (CMS), pass the code over to the website owner in your organisation.
If you chose the fixed launchpad type at Step 1, we have a top tip for you! If you're not sure where to place it, we think it's best placed at the top of your webpage.
The ReachDeck Toolbar gives you a seamless tool for making the text content of your online materials accessible. It's indispensable for companies who care and 'get it'. We recommend it at every opportunity.
Before you leave the dashboard, click on ‘Toolbar’ again. You’ll see ‘Pronunciations’ underneath. Here you can change how text-to-speech says certain words. You can also choose to set acronyms to be read aloud in full.
Click the orange ‘Add’ button and a pop-up screen will appear. There, you can add your word and tell the Toolbar how you’d like it to be spoken.
