Enhance your Website with Accessibility Software

To support people with challenges online, Basketball Ireland now provides Recite Me assistive technology to enable all visitors to read and understand content easily. Providing accessibility and language support on their website removes barriers for people with disabilities, learning difficulties, visual impairments, and if people speak English as a second language. Basketball Ireland (B.I.) has always been committed to inclusion and is continuously looking at ways to become more accessible in every facet of their organisation. (B.I.) recently launched its Disability Inclusion Policy which sees them support and develop an inclusive environment for children and adults within their clubs, programmes, coaches, volunteers and players. To continue to push this inclusion policy forward they have expanded their focus to digital accessibility and the ability to enable everyone to access key basketball information on their website easily. This innovative accessibility software will help bring people closer to the sport by enabling everyone to read and engage with content in a way that suits their individual needs. The Recite Me assistive toolbar provides a number of options to enable full control of the website through a screen reader, fully customizable styling options, reading aids and a translation tool with over 100 languages, including 35 text to speech voices. Sports Inclusion Disability Officer, Paul Carr commented: “Investing in Recite Me has brought the accessibility of our sport for people to the next level. We want to make the experience for the reader from anywhere in the world on the website the best possible and giving our supporters control of how the website looks to them will enable all supporters to easily access the information they want.”

Recite Me assistive technology has been embedded into the Rezoomo’s talent acquisition software to provide an inclusive experience when attracting, engaging, and managing candidates. Rezoomo brings together the best of an ATS, CRM, and employer branding in one solution. This partnership will enable the Rezoomo experience for applicants and job seekers to be fully inclusive with the ability to customise their journey. The addition of Recite Me technology will allow each user to customise the look and feel of the software to suit their individual needs. When enabled visitors will be able to access a toolbar full of accessibility and language support options. These features include text to speech functionality, fully customisable styling features, reading aids and a translation tool with over 100 languages, including 35 text to speech voices and many other features. The Recruitment Industry Disability Initiative (RIDI) surveyed 4,000 people and found 75% of disabled jobseekers find their condition has an impact on job hunting and 54% find hurdles at multiple stages of the recruitment process. Being able to support a candidate journey online can only attract a larger talent pool and enable them to express their true talents. Cathal Doorley CEO of Rezoomo commented, "Candidate Experience is at the heart of Rezoomo, our passion and aim is to make recruitment easy and engaging for everyone and accessible for all. When we learnt how Recite Me enables people to access information the way they want we knew this was a partnership that not only would enrich the wider candidate experience, but it was core to our aim and mission making perfect sense" Ross Linnett, Founder and CEO, Recite Me commented, “Creating a partnership with Rezoomo was a no-brainer. Being able to create an inclusive experience for a candidate that is easy to use, and which enables them to express their true talents without experiencing any barriers is a solution that Recite Me want to support and be a part of.” To find out more about how Rezoomo and Recite Me have created a fully inclusive talent acquisition platform to attract, engage and manage candidates, join us for our latest webinar, “How to create an inclusive candidate journey” on Tuesday 25th August at 11 am.
