ELLAHelp for you and the people you support
ELLA is used by readers themselves and by the people around them: teachers, support staff, family and colleagues. Pick the page that is closest to you. Each one lists the formats and settings that help most, and what to check.
If you are not sure which format a reader needs, start with choose the right format for your reader. If the reader has a favourite size or font, save it once in an accessibility profile.
Everyone who adapts a work they do not own has the same duty to follow the copyright rules. Read copyright and what you can upload before you start.
