There are many people who may benefit from such tools being available, especially those who may not speak English as their first language, are neurodivergent, or have visual impairments.

Sheenagh Young, CEO of South Manchester Credit Union, said, “It’s really exciting for us to announce our website upgrade to broaden accessibility with the Recite Me toolbar. Credit unions design our services to include all people, and we hope these new tools will truly make everyone feel welcome.”

Ross Linnett, Recite Me’s Founder and CEO, commented, “It is important to provide an inclusive online experience, where everyone can use our digital world in a way in which best suits their needs. As more organizations provide accessibility tools online, those who face online barriers can access information and services hassle-free. The digital world must be accessible for all.”
