Case Study: Lifeways improves website accessibility and inclusion with Recite Me

Lifeways supports almost 5,000 people with Recite Me

Lifeways, a leading UK provider of support for adults with complex needs, sought to make its online presence more inclusive. Their challenge was to remove barriers for the estimated 12 million people in the UK with print impairments and the 8 million who speak English as a second language. To achieve this, they partnered with the vendor Recite Me to implement its accessibility and language support toolbar.

The solution involved integrating the Recite Me toolbar into Lifeways' new website. This tool provides features like text-to-speech, reading support aids, styling customization, and a translation tool, allowing each visitor to customize the site to their individual needs. As a result, Lifeways can now ensure all website users, regardless of ability or language, enjoy the same barrier-free experience when accessing healthcare information and services.
