Recite Me believes in accessibility for all, allowing everyone the opportunity to use the internet in the way that it is intended.
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.
You can open the Recite Me Accessibility Toolbar by clicking on the “Accessibility Icon” button in the top right corner of every page of our website.
After you click on the “Accessibility Icon” button, the Recite Me toolbar opens and displays a range of different options for customising the way the website looks and ways you can interact with the content.
Recite Me helps people access our website and customise the content in a way that works best for them.
