Need Help?
We'd like to make this website as useful as possible for you. We've included information and links that we hope will be useful - but it might be that you need some help to make the most out of this information.
If you're having problems reading this site, there's a bit of software that you can download, which will read the words out loud to you when you hover your mouse over them!
What's even better is that lots of other websites are using this now, so once you've downloaded the software once, it'll work on other sites, such as Google, BBC, NHS, BT, Highland Council, Yahoo, MSN and piles of others!!
Click on the link above and follow these instructions:
-
Firstly, choose whether you want to download for a PC or a Mac. If you're not sure, you've probably got a PC (unless it has a little picture of an apple on it). Click either PC or Mac.
-
Then you'll be asked "is your computer behind a corporate firewall?" If it's your computer at home, then it wont be, so select No. If you're not at home, ask someone, just to make sure. Then click the Download button.
- A window will then pop up like below. Click Run:
- Then another box will pop up - click Run:
