Awin is proud to announce the implementation of cloud-based web accessibility assistive toolbar solution Recite Me across their North American websites.

Approximately 61 million (26%) adults in the United States live with a disability and they can often face barriers when visiting inaccessible websites.

With COVID-19 transitioning the majority of individuals around the world to a digital living environment – whether that be for work, school, socializing or spending – it’s become more important than ever for companies to ease any barriers their website users may face as our lives became further dependent upon the worldwide web.

Awin was thrilled to discover Recite Me’s award-winning innovative assistive technology in its search to make Awin.com more accessible and inclusive, solving many challenges faced by those who have a disability, learning difficulties, visual impairments or people who speak English as a second language

Visitors on Awin’s US and Canadian websites can activate the accessibility support via the orange ‘Accessibility Tools’ button in the upper right-hand corner.

This easy to use software includes text-to-speech functionality (including 35 text-to-speech voices), fully customizable styling options, reading aids and a translation tool with over 100 languages, and more. Furthermore, Recite Me works across all device types, enabling all website visitors to read and understand content, features and functionality awin.com provides.

Alexandra Forsch, President of Awin US says: “At Awin, diversity and inclusion is not an initiative but core to who we are as a company and how we run our business operations. Recite Me allows us to ensure an inclusive online environment and positive user experience for all of our partners and employees visiting Awin.com. We couldn’t be more thrilled to provide this tool for their website usage.”

Ross Linnett, CEO & Founder of Recite Me commented, “Being able to make your website welcoming and easy to use for all customers is key to creating the perfect online experience. Recite Me is proud to partner with AWIN US to lead the way in driving accessible and unbeatable online shopping experiences for 1 in 4 people in the US with disabilities, learning difficulties, visual impairments or people who speak English as a second language. “

Awin and ShareASale hope partners consider Recite Me’s innovative assistive technology solution as part of their larger inclusion and diversity efforts. Recite Me are thrilled to offer Awin clients an exclusive discount now through September 30.
