International House

Established in 1981, International House is a nonprofit dedicated to helping immigrants and international culture thrive in their community.

International House strengthens the lives of both foreign-born and foreign-rooted individuals in Charlotte by creating cross-cultural relationships that promote understanding and drive inspiration.

Our Brief

International House is committed to not only aiding immigrants to acclimate and prosper in the Charlotte area but also assisting local residents and businesses to engage with people and customs from all over the world.

As a proud, inclusive organization that draws strength from the diversity of its community, International House wanted to make access to education programs, immigration services, and other community resources accessible for everyone.

Our Solution

International House implemented Recite Me accessibility and language technology as part of their pact to impact as many lives as possible.

The Recite Me assistive toolbar enables all website visitors, regardless of their differing abilities or language needs, to customize International House’s website in a way that works best for them. Recite Me assistive technology includes screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customizable styling options, and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages, including 65 text-to-speech.

“At International House, our mission is to help immigrants and international culture thrive in our community. To do this, immigrant and refugee families need access to education programs, legal immigration services, and help navigating community resources. Each year, we work with clients from over 50 different countries. The City of Charlotte is growing rapidly and becoming more diverse each year. The Recite Me button allows individuals to navigate our website in their own language, or to have the information read aloud to them. Some clients we work with are illiterate in their native languages, so the text-to-voice feature is an incredible resource for those who struggle with reading!”
