Introducing Recite Me’s accessibility software to our website

We’re delighted to welcome the addition of a new assistive toolbar to our website to make it more digitally inclusive and accessible to you.

Implementing Recite Me’s digital solution on the website provides a variety of accessibility and language support tools to tailor how content is displayed to you while accessing our range of products and services. 

90 per cent of people who need digital assistance in the UK don’t have access to the online support tools they require. We wanted to ensure that those visiting our website who have a disability, learning difficulty or visual impairment, can access information in a way that best meets their needs.

Following the implementation, we can now provide you with multiple audio and visual screen reading aids and the ability to customise styling options, along with an on-demand live translation feature for over 100 languages. 

Our Deputy Chief Executive, Darren Ditchburn, commented, “Here at Leek Building Society, accessibility is extremely important to us and we’re committed to ensuring all our members can access information in a clear and easy to understand format, whilst providing services that best meet their individual needs.”

Ross Linnett, Recite Me’s Founder and CEO said, “It’s 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 organisations provide accessibility tools online, those who face online barriers can access information and services hassle-free. The digital world must be accessible for all.”
