“Recite Me is a great tool to help candidates who are neurodiverse. 1 in 7 of us in the UK is understood to be neurodivergent and we believe it is higher in the food and beverage industry. A neurodiverse workforce is crucial, and brings so many additional skills such as problem solving and creativity, the list is endless!"

“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.”

"Accessibility and inclusion are ingrained into the mission of all Levitt Pavilions. We break down the cost barrier to high caliber performing arts by removing the ticket, and by doing that we bring together an extremely diverse group of people to enjoy our concerts. At the Levitt, we have people of all abilities and many different cultures enjoying our music and connecting on the lawn. Utilizing the Recite Me toolbar was an obvious next step in helping our entire community have access to our information. We removed so many barriers to access on the lawn, it was a no-brainer to try and remove them on our website as well."

“The University of London is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience, regardless of how our audiences and stakeholders wish to engage with us – this is just as important in an online capacity. Recite Me is an excellent way for us to be able to provide additional online tools and services for those visiting our website and increase the level of accessibility quickly and easily. In addition, we have adopted the accessibility toolbar on its intranet and jobs website to ensure that more people can access and modify the content in a way that makes it more useful and usable. These initiatives are examples of the measures we are taking to ensure that we are promoting inclusive academic practices.”

“At Creased Puddle, we use Recite Me Website Accessibility Software to ensure our message reaches everyone. Recite Me is a cloud-based assistive technology toolbar that allows website visitors to customise your content so that they can consume it in ways that work best for them. We have found that it not only provides flexibility for the neurodivergent user, but everyone can benefit, we’ve even used it in our training to show what tech can do. We want to encourage organisations to embed the principles of an inclusive neurodiversity strategy for future generations. The impact on clients and customers should not be undervalued or ignored.”

With the implementation of Recite Me on our website we can reach a diverse range of people who can read and understand the information easily and inclusively on our website.”

“I founded EdPlace because I was able to overcome my challenges of dyslexia in a traditional schooling system, principally because I was lucky enough to have amazing parental support. I wanted to use the huge advances in technology to foster this for many, not the lucky few. “Our integration with Recite Me is a great example of this as the toolbar ensures our platform is accessible to all. A seemingly small achievement like getting a score in a subject you thought you didn’t understand can boost confidence and help unlock a student’s huge potential. Thanks to Recite Me, we’re able to provide this experience and help each and every child succeed in their learning.”
