ThinkPad features that promote comfort: There are easy-to-use ThinkPad features that can help make your computer more comfortable to use. Accessibility information Lenovo is committed to providing people with disabilities greater access to information and technology. As a result, the following information provides ways to help users that have hearing, vision, and mobility limitations get the most out of their computer experience. Assistive technologies enable users to access information in the most appropriate way. Some of these technologies are already provided in your operating system. Others can be purchased through vendors, or accessed through the World Wide Web http://www.lenovo.com/healthycomputing. Assistive technologies Some accessibility technologies are available through the Accessibility Options program. Depending on your operating system, the number of accessibility options available varies. In general, accessibility options enhance the way users with hearing, vision, or mobility limitations navigate and use their computer. For example, some users might not have the fine motor skills required to use a mouse or select key combinations. Other users might require larger fonts or high-contrast display modes. In some cases, magnifiers and built-in speech synthesizers are available. For detailed information about each of these features, consult the Microsoft help information system. To use the Accessibility Options program, do the following: Click Start ➙ Control Panel ➙ Ease of Access ➙ Ease of Access Center. The Microsoft help information system supports the accessibility features provided by your Windows operating system, screen readers designed to operate in the Windows environment, and Windows keyboard navigation. For a complete listing of the Microsoft Windows Keyboard Guide, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/Products/altkeyboard.aspx Screen reader technologies are primarily focused on software application interfaces, help information systems, and a variety of online documents. However, in the case where a screen reader cannot read documents, the document must first go through a conversion process. One solution converts Adobe PDF files into a format that is read by the screen-reader programs. This solution is a Web-based service provided by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Through http://access.adobe.com, Adobe PDF documents can be converted to HTML or plain text in many languages. One conversion option converts PDF documents on the Internet. A second option enables users to submit the URL of an Adobe PDF file through e-mail to convert it to HTML or ASCII text. Adobe PDF files on a local hard disk drive, local CD-ROM, or LAN also can be converted by attaching the Adobe PDF file to an e-mail message.
