We caught up with Young Scot volunteer, Teagan to discuss the incorporation of the Recite Me toolbar and share her own experiences. ...
From local support groups to the national charity, Meningitis Now is proud of everything they have achieved in its 30 years of history.
Meningitis Now was the first meningitis patient group in the world and is the only charity dedicated to fighting meningitis in the UK. They have invested over £12.5m in kick-starting the development and introduction of five lifesaving meningitis vaccines and have fought tirelessly to save lives through meningitis awareness campaigns and activities. The charity also offers vital support and help to those who have experienced meningitis, helping them to rebuild their lives.
Recognising the inequalities that exist in the UK health system and that life-saving vaccine uptake and access to information were poorest in communities where language, cultural and health barriers exist, Meningitis Now wanted to ensure that it provided the widest possible access to the valuable information and support services it provides. Making its website barrier-free, accessible, and inclusive is a vital part of this goal.
Meningitis Now offers to Recite Me assistive technology on their website as a way to improve access to vital and often lifesaving information and support to all visitors irrespective of their cultural, social, or medical needs.
The Recite Me accessibility and language support toolbar enables every visitor to customise the Meningitis Now website, creating a bespoke and unique web experience that meets their needs and requirements.
The toolbar offers a range of support features including text-to-speech functionality, fully customisable styling tools, reading aids, and a translation option with over 100 languages, including 35 text-to-speech voices and many other features.
Kick start your journey to make your website accessible and inclusive for everyone by exploring Recite Me’s suite of tools.
