Recently, the official website of the Palace Museum introduced new features for accessibility, which can be activated by clicking the "Accessibility" button on the homepage.

The feature provides visual aids, supporting display modes such as page zoom, high contrast, and inverted colors to enhance content readability. It also offers text-to-speech conversion, enabling page content to be read aloud with adjustable playback speed. The website also supports full keyboard operation, allowing complete access to all functions without a mouse. Multilingual versions (English, French, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese) are adapted for barrier-free access, with English and Traditional Chinese further supporting audio playback. The website is also fully optimized for mobile devices for a better touchscreen experience.

Currently, the feature is in a trial operation phase. Visitors are welcome to share their valuable feedback via the "Contact Us" section on the homepage after experiencing it.
