Go to the link and get a copy of Simply Web 98, a freeware talking browser.
While it isn't highly polished, it certainly will provide you with interesting browsing.

Internet Explorer:
On the View menu, click on Text Size, and then click the size you want.  I use 'largest' for viewability.
With Internet Explorer, you can explore the Web by using the keyboard. Just press TAB and SHIFT+TAB to move forward and backward between screen elements such as:

  • Links that are text or images.
  • Hotspots on image maps.
  • The Address bar.
  • The menu bar.
  • The Links bar.
  • Frames.

Netscape Communicator/Navigator:
To increase font size press & hold the 'ctl' key and depress the ']'.  For visually impaired, that means to depress and hold the Control key and then press the right square bracket.
To decrease font size press & hold the 'ctl' key and depress the “['’. For visually impaired, that means to depress and hold the Control key and then press the square square bracket.

 

To adjust the font size in AOL 4.0:
On the tool bar click on My AOL;

  • Select Preferences;
  • Click on the WWW icon;
  • Select Advanced Settings;
  • Select Browser Display. Now you can set the Text Size to Large or Largest.

 

Please note that changing the font size may affect the page layout
