Sight — list of functions
This is the inventory. If a function is not on this list, Sight does not provide it. Computer tips, not medical advice. No bill. No license.
Read this first if you cannot see the table. Open the audio trainer. Press the page. The trainer speaks the same functions in order: stop, what it is, pink button, Colour, Sound, bigger type, website install, trouble, keys.
1. This website — this page only
| Function | What it does | How |
|---|---|---|
| Pink button — master on/off | Turns help on or off for this website. Off: cream page, no Colour, no Sound. On: Colour and Sound will work. Does not start Narrator. Does not change Mail or Excel. | Pink circle with PH. Ring means On. |
| Colour | Black page, gold headings, white body. This website only. Same switch puts cream back. | Colour button, after pink is On. Key: Alt + V |
| Sound | The browser reads this page. Same button stops it. Will not read Mail or Excel. | Sound button, after pink is On. Key: Alt + L |
| Read this part | On the instruction book and these documents, reads one section. Works even if the pink button is off, so you can hear the lesson. | Read this part / Read this page |
| Two doors | Self-start, or coach / CNIB / OT. Same two installs, different voice. | /start/ |
| Computer install — shortcut only | A Desktop or home-screen shortcut to the talking page. Not a resident Windows program. Not logon. | Sight-Listen.url |
| Thoughtware install | Four facts: stop, find Listen, pink / Colour / Sound, off. Done when the person can do them without the coach in the room. | Self door and coach door |
| Audio trainer | A whole-page start press. Speaks nine lessons in order. Space next, R repeat, S stop, number keys jump. Built for people who cannot find small buttons. | pinkhouse.tech/listen |
| Remember on/off | The browser remembers whether help was on, for this site, on this computer. Other people on the same page still see cream unless they turn it on. | Stored in the browser. Not an account. |
| Skip links | Keyboard users can jump to the main words, to Stop first, or to the coach script. | Tab from the top of the page |
| 4×4 widget on the home page | The product shown as a square about four inches by four inches: pink, Colour, Sound, and links. | Right side, below the menu, on pinkhouse.tech |
2. On someone else’s website
| Function | What it does | How |
|---|---|---|
| Website snippet | Puts the same widget on a site you own. Colour and Sound change that site’s page, not Mail, not Excel. | One line: https://pinkhouse.tech/sight/widget.js |
| Corner button | On a site that has the snippet, a pink button appears in the lower right. Open the 4×4. Hide puts it back. | Click the pink button. Hide widget. |
| Bookmark, any page you can open | If you do not own the site, a helper can save a bookmark named Sight. Some sites block it. That is their choice. | Sight on your website |
| Sample site | A fake bakery page so you can see the widget away from Pink House. | demo.html |
3. Teaching and documents
| Function | What it does |
|---|---|
| Complete instruction book | One book: stop first, coach script, every switch, Mail, Docs, leftover Off, keys. how-to-see |
| Coach door — CNIB / OT | Fifteen-minute protocol, leave-the-room test, print card. /start/coach.html |
| Coach script — ten minutes | Longer cream boxes in the book, after the coach door. Do not start Narrator. |
| Suggestion box | A note you can email, copy, or save in the browser. Not a help desk. Not a chatbot. suggest |
| The library — doors, then we stop | The phone first. Then things already built (Yale, MIT, HarvardX, Oxford, OpenLearn, Saylor, Khan, LibriVox, CBC Listen, a coach). Steps in. No wrappers. No chat app. /library/ |

4. Windows — we do not start these
These are already on many PCs. Sight will not turn them on. We teach Off, and we teach safer ways to hear one email.

|---|---|---|
| Narrator off | Windows reading every window, including Mail | Off key only: Ctrl + Win + Enter. We do not start it. |
| Windows contrast off | Whole PC black and gold | Left Alt + Left Shift + Print Screen, or Settings → Contrast themes → None |
| Magnifier close | Windows magnifier | Win + Esc. We do not launch it. |
| Immersive Reader | One message or one document, then stop | We tell you how. Outlook or Edge. Not Narrator. |
| Browser zoom | Bigger type on this page | Ctrl + + · Ctrl + 0 |
| Windows text size | Bigger type on the whole PC | Settings → Accessibility → Text size. Not a Pink House install. |
5. Leftover — remove only
| Function | What it was | What we do now |
|---|---|---|
| Pink House Sight for Windows | An older helper that could start at logon, change the whole PC, and in an older copy start Narrator | Off zip only. We will not put it back on. Remove what we put on this PC |
6. What this list does not include
- A Sight license, subscription, or billing screen.
- A whole-PC screen reader. NVDA is free if you want that later. We are not NVDA.
- A medical claim, an eye test, or a diagnosis.
- A legal stamp that a website is accessible.
- Apple as a whole-computer helper. Safari can still use Colour and Sound on this website.
- TokenScope, Michelangelo, Raquel, or the DTC book. Those are other Pink House work.
