Recite Me

“At Severn Trent we want our website to be accessible for all our customers which is why we implemented the Recite Me toolbar to help achieve this. In February alone, we had nearly 200,000 pages viewed with the Recite Me toolbar activated. This ranged from customers translating the website into their chosen language and using tools such as the playback tool to read the content out to them.”

“It is fantastic to see so many students using Recite Me as a supporting tool for reading and understanding university information online. This tool allows our users to interact with digital content in a way that's accessible and efficient, making it inclusive for as many people as possible.”

“The addition of Recite Me to our UK & Ireland Careers website is not only a fantastic way to enhance the candidate experience, but importantly ensures opportunities at Danone are accessible to as many people as possible.”

“Recite Me makes our Allwyn UK site more accessible. At the click of a button, you have a range of options to change, amend and consume information, in a way that best suits you. You must get the basics of accessibility integrated into your website's build, our teams work to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2, AA standards as a minimum. If you then layer assistive technology on top of that, you have a really powerful tool.”

“Our website offers many great tools and resources. By providing better access to these resources, our customers have a better opportunity to increase their financial knowledge. Over time, we build greater trust among our customers, as we continue to enhance our offering by being inclusive and making every member feel appreciated and seen.”

“The Recite Me Checker has been a game-changer for us in ensuring our online content is accessible. Easy to use and packed with helpful guidance, it’s been a real asset in meeting government standards for website accessibility. We wanted a tool to regularly check our site’s accessibility, especially as we add new pages. After looking at different options, we were impressed by Recite Me’s Checker and their dedication to improving website accessibility.”

“We’re delighted to have added the Recite Me functionality to our corporate AG Barr website, making it much more accessible for visitors. We take this responsibility seriously, and that extends to trying to be a more inclusive business.”

“Here at Nottingham Building Society accessibility is extremely important to us and a core focus of our ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) agenda. We are committed to ensuring all customers can access information and services in a way that best meets their individual needs. Diversity and Inclusion are at the forefront of our ESG plans in 2024, so we are incredibly proud to be able to provide Recite Me’s innovative assistive technology across our website.”

“Using the Recite Me Checker helped us spot common issues early, streamline fixes across multiple sites, and build accessibility directly into our implementation process.”

“The Recite Me toolbar enables access to our website content to a broader range of our customers to better support customer journeys, providing information on our wide range of services spanning 120 destinations and key information about our facilities.”

“We used Recite Me’s Accessibility Checker to help us bring our highly popular, licensed kids’ website up to speed in time for EAA. It enabled our development team to work through fixes quickly and efficiently, without needing to get bogged down in complex accessibility guidance, safe in the knowledge that we weren’t missing or misinterpreting anything. It was a real safety net for us and definitely improved efficiencies internally, as well as the outcome for our website users.”

“We’ve been working closely with our accessibility community to look at ways in which we can improve our digital experience, and the implementation of Recite Me has been fantastic. It’s extremely intuitive, and our user feedback has called out the ease of use and variety of options within the toolbar as really big game changers from our previous offering. It’s been great to roll this out across our portfolio.”

“Recite Me supported us on a large-scale, sensitive project with a tight deadline, and their team went above and beyond to help us get there, including turning around the accessible PDFs we needed finalised in time. Their responsiveness and support throughout made a genuinely challenging project far more manageable.”

“It’s very important to us that everyone who wishes to engage with Lord’s and MCC using our digital tools can do so. Sometimes this might be the start of their journey to becoming a lifelong cricket fan. We believe that cricket should be as accessible as possible, to as many people as possible, and with no limitations. We’ll continue to invest in tools, activities, and initiatives that support this belief and enable wider participation among the disabled community.”

“At Preston North End FC, inclusion is at the heart of how we welcome and support every supporter. We want every fan to feel confident, valued and able to access the information they need, whether they are buying tickets, planning a visit to Deepdale or engaging with the club online. Introducing the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar is an important step in removing digital barriers and ensuring our ticketing website is accessible, user-friendly and inclusive for all.”

“Our name is something we truly believe in. When we say, ‘Everyone Active’, we really do mean that we want to include everyone in our services. Physical activity should be available to all, and we are dedicated to removing barriers and making it more inclusive and accessible wherever we can – whether that’s in our centres or on our website. Working with Recite Me to make our website even more accessible was a win-win decision for everyone.”

“We’ve been working closely with our accessibility community to look at ways in which we can improve our digital experience, and the implementation of Recite Me has been fantastic. It’s extremely intuitive, and our user feedback has called out the ease of use and variety of options within the toolbar as really big game changers from our previous offering. It’s been great to roll this out across our portfolio, and the Recite Me team has always been on hand to provide additional support.”

“We must normalise accessibility aids because they are exactly that, normal! As someone who uses text-to-speech software at times to help myself access websites while living with cognitive and neurological issues, I was delighted when I first saw the Recite Me tool pop up on the Young Scot site. I hope more organisations follow this lead and begin to implement embedded accessibility in their websites and services.”

“Our Information Technology department all said that we know enough about web programming that, if we really wanted to, we could have built a version of the Recite Me software. But the fact is, even if we did that, it would take us months and probably wouldn’t be half as good. We knew that we needed to make things accessible and this was a quick and comprehensive way of doing that. That really is the unique selling point of this software. The competitors were okay, but Recite Me is arguably a better product and was quick and easy to install.”

““West Midlands Trains is very excited to adopt Recite Me on both the West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway websites, including the digital Delay Repay forms to assist customers registering compensation claims. We’re always looking at ways in which we can develop our products and services to ensure they meet the needs of our customers and increase inclusivity. We welcome any feedback customers may have when using the tool. Feedback can be submitted via our Live Feedback form on either of our websites.””

“More than ever, it is vital that everyone can have equality in the workplace and has access to the information they need to make informed career choices and create opportunities for themselves. It’s a customised experience that we hope will increase the diversity of our applicants to enhance our skill sets and open up a wider talent pool that supports our values of equal opportunities in the workplace.”

““We always want to move towards accessible websites, 100%. But it’s really challenging for us to create a website that works for everybody. [Recite Me] gives people the power and the control to be able to create an experience that works for them””

“Digital communications can influence every stage of the visitor’s decision-making process, and VisitBelfast.com is often the first port of call for many people planning a trip to Belfast and during their stay. “Belfast is a welcoming city, so it is important that our website reflects that inclusivity and allows people of all abilities to access the information they need to enjoy a trip to the city. “ReciteMe’s functionality has allowed us to do that, as well as giving our visitors the opportunity to experience the website and its wealth of content in whatever language they choose.”

“It's important to us at Utilita that our services are accessible to everyone, which is why we decided to implement the ‘Recite Me’ accessibility toolbar on our website. The toolbar has already made a huge difference to our customers, in the first month alone it helped over 1,000 users view our website in the best way for them.”

“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.”
