Digital Accessibility

Recite Me believes in accessibility for all, allowing everyone the opportunity to use the internet in the way that it is intended

We pride ourselves on being a company that goes the extra mile to improve communication and quality of service for our customers and staff.

To fulfil this mission, we now provide Recite Me assistive technology on our website, which enables our visitors to customise their experience in a way that best suits their individual needs.

Recite Me Web Accessibility and Language Toolbar

Recite Me is innovative cloud-based software that lets visitors view and use our website in a way that works best for them.

We’ve added the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar to our website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.

It helps 1 in 5 people in the UK who have a disability, including those with common conditions like sight loss and dyslexia, access our website in the way that suits them best.

It also meets the needs of the 4.2 million people in the UK who speak a language other than English at home,  by translating our web content into over 100 different languages.
