Tech Should Work For You, Not Against You
Struggling to read tiny text on your phone? Miss calls because you can't find the answer button? Can't work out which app is which? You're not alone, and your device can do better.
Modern phones, tablets, and computers have brilliant accessibility features built in - they're just hidden away where nobody can find them.
💡 Pro tip: Most people don't know their phone can read text aloud, answer calls with voice commands, or make icons three times bigger. These features exist - they just need switching on.
Why Get Help With This?
Here's the thing: accessibility settings are scattered across multiple menus. Finding them all and knowing which ones actually help is frustrating.

| All useful features enabled | Can't find half the settings |
| Settings balanced and tested | Changed something, can't undo it |
| You understand how to use it | Device now feels even more confusing |

What to Expect
Step 1: Quick Chat
I ask what you struggle with and what would make life easier. No judgement - just figuring out what'll actually help you.
Step 2: Configure Settings
I work through all the accessibility options, enabling the ones that suit you. Test as we go to make sure everything feels better, not worse.
Step 3: Show You How It Works
This is the important bit - I demonstrate every feature we've enabled and make sure you're comfortable using it. I'll leave simple written notes too.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to try setting this up yourself? Here's how:
📱 iPhone/iPad
- Go to Settings > Accessibility
- Try these first: Display & Text Size > Larger Text
- Then: Touch > Back Tap (double-tap back of phone for shortcuts)
- Siri: Settings > Siri & Search > Listen for "Hey Siri"
🤖 Android
- Settings > Accessibility
- Display size and text: make everything bigger
- TalkBack: screen reader feature
- Voice Access: control phone by voice
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Changing too many things at once (overwhelming)
- Enabling TalkBack without knowing how to turn it off (very confusing!)
- Setting text so large that menus break
- Not testing each feature before moving on
💡 Pro trick: Start with just making text bigger and icons larger. Live with that for a few days. Then add voice control or other features once you're comfortable. Small changes are easier to adjust to.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Family members helping? I can set this up while you're there together, so they know what's changed and how to help if you get stuck.
Multiple devices? If you've got a phone, tablet, and laptop, I can set them all up with consistent settings so everything works the same way. Much less confusing.
Not sure what would help? That's fine - I can demonstrate options and we pick what works for you. Many people don't know what's possible until they see it.
Exeter's older houses? Many of my accessibility setup clients are in older Exeter properties where phone signal can be patchy upstairs. I can also set up WiFi calling while I'm there so you don't miss calls.
Frequently Asked Questions
What accessibility settings can you configure?
Pretty much anything that makes devices easier to use - larger text, voice control, simplified menus, high contrast displays, magnification, text-to-speech, and more. I work with what you need, whether it's a phone, tablet, laptop, or smart speaker.
Is this just for elderly people?
Not at all. Anyone with vision problems, arthritis, dyslexia, or who just finds tech fiddly can benefit. I've helped people of all ages - it's about making your devices work for you, not the other way around.
Will you show me how to use it afterwards?
Absolutely - that's the most important part. I set everything up, then walk you through how it all works so you're confident using it. I'll leave written notes if that helps too.
Can you do this on Apple and Android?
Yes - both have excellent built-in accessibility features, they're just buried in menus. I know where everything is and how to set it up properly for whichever device you've got.
What if I need help again later?
Just call. Sometimes people want adjustments after they've used the new settings for a bit - maybe text bigger, maybe smaller. I'm happy to pop back and tweak things until it's perfect for you.
