“We added Recite Me to our website in 2017 and it ties all our accessibility activities together. It makes it easier for staff and students with disabilities to access our website and for people looking to join our staff team or student body. All the different functions Recite Me has, such as changing the colour background or having the content read aloud, means we are aiming to meet a broad spectrum of users' accessibility needs. I think the software in place reinforces our commitment to making the University of Liverpool an accessible learning and working environment.”

“We implemented the Recite Me toolbar because ensuring our website is as accessible as possible is very important to us. As an NHS organisation, the information on our website can often be the gateway to accessing healthcare for many people in our communities. It is a way of empowering people to make informed decisions about their own health, so needs to be available and accessible to as many people as possible.”

“Hovertravel’s aim, through its accessibility initiative HoverCare, is to provide hovercraft travel for all and with our online bookings varying between 50% and 70% of all bookings, it is essential that our technology is fully inclusive. Our research revealed that while there were several systems which provided the bare minimum of tools, it was Recite Me which demonstrated a full understanding of the challenges faced by some customers and who had developed a suite of customisable options to suit the widest variety of abilities.”

“As part of our Responsible SEGRO programme, we are committed to fostering a more inclusive culture and building a more diverse workforce. This has led us to undertake a number of initiatives, both big and small, which will make a real and positive difference. Having the Recite Me toolbar on our SEGRO.com site is an important element because it allows or makes it easier for more people to access information about the company. Without it, many of them would be excluded from the opportunity to gain this knowledge.”

“The Recite Me tool allows young people, professionals, stakeholders, staff, and everyone in between to access the Young Scot website in a way that suits them. By having accessibility tools easily available on the site means you’re embedding access and inclusion from the moment I see the iconic pink and yellow logo. We must normalise accessibility aids because they are exactly that, normal! As someone who uses a screen reader at times to help myself access websites while living with cognitive and neurological issues, I was delighted when I first saw the Recite Me tool pop up on the Young Scot site. Far too many websites are simply inaccessible and while I’m privileged enough to be able to navigate the internet without a screen reader, many people don’t have a choice. We shouldn’t have to choose between getting the information, support, and opportunities we need simply because we have different needs from others. To see a website that is not only accessible but goes the extra mile to ensure everyone has the tools they need to navigate your website, right on the page, is amazing. I hope more organisations follow this lead and begin to implement embedded accessibility in their websites and services, as well as create safe spaces for feedback on these tools to ensure everyone is getting the best experience possible.
