You can use technology to help you read the application form or change your view of the text. It may also be easier to dictate your answers rather than type.

Reading mode in Chrome can make text easier to read and help with processing information and application questions by reducing distractions and allowing you to change the font, the background colour, and apply line focus settings. It will allow you to have the text read aloud.

Use colour filters in Windows or if you are a Mac user: apply colour filters on Mac to make it easier to engage with what’s on the screen.
 
If you have difficulty typing or simply find it easier to express your ideas by speaking rather than typing, you may wish to use dictation to provide your answers using your voice:

• Voice Typing in Windows
• Dictation on a Mac
• Dictate in Microsoft 365

Reviewing your answers

You may find it helpful to draft your answers to the application questions in Microsoft Word, before transferring them to the application form.
 
Listening to your answers being read aloud can help you spot any areas for improvement: identify spelling mistakes and missing words or unclear phrasing.

Microsoft Word's Immersive Reader allows you to customise the reading experience and hear your text read back to you. This can make it easier to review your responses and check that they clearly communicate your skills and experience before you submit your application.
