We’re proud to lead by example and set a standard for accessibility in higher education.”
1 in 5 of Australians have a disability (4.4 million people) which may mean they cannot use a website in the way that it was intended. The Recite Me toolbar enables users to customise their digital experience to suit their needs.
Over 5,000 websites currently use Recite Me, this includes the University of Liverpool and the ANUSA. Our team is here to help you on your mission to provide more inclusive online experiences.
