Screen Reader

Our screen reader helps people who are visually impaired or neuro-divergent to perceive and understand our website content.

Key features include:

• All content read aloud in a natural voice
• 35 different language options
• Speed controls and word-by-word highlighting for total customisation
• The Recite Me toolbar allows you to highlight any text and create an MP3 file, which downloads automatically to your computer. Audio is created in a natural-sounding conversational style.

Styling

Our website is customisable to a way that works for you. Recite Me supports people who are dyslexic, visually impaired or have a learning disability to change the way our website looks, so you can experience it the way it is intended.

Key features include:

• Text size and colour
• Website background colour
• Text font type, including Open-Dyslexic
• Text only option, where all styling is stripped away. This leaves text only for your viewing, much like a document

Reading

Reading content online can be a challenge for some people. To simplify and support you to read our content, Recite Me provides four tools.

Key features include:

• Ruler – to read line by line with no distractions of what is below
• Reading mask – to mask away 90% of our website, leaving only the information you want to concentrate on
• Magnifier – to zoom in to sections of the text making reading more clearly easier
• Margins – when in text only mode, you can use the margin feature to position content in the best place for you

Translation

1 in 10 people don’t speak English as their first language in the UK.

By using Recite Me, you can quickly and easily translate all our website content into over 100 languages, including 35 text to speech voices.

The translation function changes everything you see on our website, as shown in our example image.
