At Recite Me, we’re always evolving our assistive technology to create better, more inclusive digital experiences for every user. We’re pleased to share that your toolbar now includes our latest innovation: Page Structure.
This new feature provides users with a clear, simplified overview of how content is organized on any webpage, making navigation faster, easier, and more intuitive. It’s especially valuable for users with accessibility needs who benefit from improved clarity and structure when engaging with online content.
What Is the Page Structure Feature?
With just one click, users can now access an organized view of three essential components of any webpage:
Headings
See a full breakdown of the page’s heading structure (from H1 to H6). This helps users understand how content is grouped and prioritized, improving readability and usability.
It’s especially beneficial for screen reader users and those with cognitive or learning disabilities, offering a more structured and approachable experience, even on complex pages.
Landmarks
Identify key areas of the page, such as navigation menus, main content, banners, and footers.
This transforms what can often feel like an overwhelming stream of information into a segmented layout that’s easier to navigate and understand.
Links
View a complete list of all on-page links in an accessible format. Users can jump directly to any linked section or action without needing to scroll or search manually.
Who Benefits?
The Page Structure feature is a major step forward in making web content more accessible to all users. It’s particularly helpful for:
- People with cognitive or learning disabilities – Reduces information overload by breaking content into clearly defined areas.
- Screen reader and Text-to-Speech users – Allows them to skip directly to the sections they care about, without having to listen to everything in sequence.
- Keyboard users – Enhances navigation by enabling more efficient movement between structured sections.
Supporting WCAG Compliance
This feature also supports key WCAG 2.2 success criteria, helping websites stay compliant while improving user experience:
- 1.3.1 – Info and Relationships: Exposes content structure to help users perceive logical relationships between elements.
- 2.4.1 – Bypass Blocks: Let users skip repetitive blocks and go straight to the main content or other areas.
- 2.4.5 – Multiple Ways: Offers an alternative way to navigate, supporting diverse user preferences.
- 2.4.6 – Headings and Labels: Improves clarity and understanding of content purpose through structured headings.
Web accessibility isn’t just a compliance requirement; it’s a commitment to inclusion. The new Page Structure feature empowers all users, regardless of ability, to engage with content in a way that suits their needs. Whether it’s navigating through complex documents or quickly finding important actions, this feature helps remove digital barriers and makes the web a more welcoming place.
