Cura Financial Services

Cura specialises in helping people with medical conditions, high-risk occupations, hazardous travel, and sports, to get good value insurance Cura has provided insurance advice since 2005 and has helped many individuals secure insurance policies who have previously been turned away by other brokers as ‘uninsurable’. They pride themselves on finding the right insurance products for clients where others cannot.

Our Brief

To address accessibility barriers across the insurance industry, Cura began consultations with organisations about how they could develop some best practices. Across the UK, over 16 million people have some form of disability (The House of Commons Library) and can encounter challenges online. This is something Cura wanted to reduce when visiting their online platform.

Our Solution

To address these online barriers, Cura now offers to Recite Me’s accessibility and language support toolbar, enabling everyone to navigate, perceive and understand their content easily. This assistive technology allows people to customise their experience of the Cura website to suit their individual needs.

The toolbar provides many accessibility and language options including text-to-speech functionality, fully customisable styling features, reading aids, and a translation tool with over 100 languages, including 65 text-to-speech voices.

“We believe that this is an essential area of inclusivity that needs to be given clear focus. For us, an easy and essential way for us to improve Cura’s services has been adding Recite Me to our website in June of this year. This language and accessibility bar enables users to have documents read aloud to them, to download text as an MP3 file, change fonts, colours, and sizes, translate into over 100 different languages, and has a fully integrated dictionary and thesaurus.”
