InCommunity Champions Digital Inclusion with the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar
InCommunity is taking a significant step forward in its commitment to digital inclusion by making our website fully accessible with the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar. This addition ensures that every website visitor, regardless of their individual needs, can browse, engage, and access online content without barriers.
Breaking Down Barriers Online
With an estimated 1 in 4 people facing challenges online due to disabilities, learning differences, visual impairments, or language barriers, accessibility is no longer optional; it’s essential.
By implementing the Recite Me toolbar, InCommunity is providing equal access to information and services for all visitors, helping to create a truly inclusive digital experience.
Key Features of the Recite Me Toolbar
Screen Reading Support: Assists visitors with visual impairments or cognitive differences.
Reading Aids: Improve focus, comprehension, and retention.
Customizable Styling: Users can adjust fonts, colors, and layouts to their preferences.
Translation & Text-to-Speech: On-demand translation into over 100 languages, including 65 text-to-speech voices, ensures non-native English speakers can fully engage with content.
A Commitment to Inclusion
Marva Edwards, Communications Manager at InCommunity, said: “Accessibility and inclusion should be woven into everything we do at InCommunity, including how we share our story. We want our website to be a place where the individuals we support and their families feel represented and welcomed, while also making it easy for anyone in our community to learn about our mission, understand our ‘why,’ and see the impact of the work we do. When we make information more accessible, we create more opportunities for people to connect, understand, and be part of the InCommunity story.”
Leading the Way in Accessible Experiences
Ross Linnett, Founder and CEO of Recite Me, added: “It’s inspiring to see InCommunity leading by example in supporting online visitors. The internet should be for everyone, and by providing assistive tools online, InCommunity is helping to create a more inclusive digital world where nobody is left behind.”
