Good news – language and accessibility toolbar is now live!

Hi all,

 

We want to share some good news!

 

Our language and accessibility toolbar is live on both our Derian main website and our family website.

 

Recite Me is an accessibility assistive toolbar which will allow our website visitors to customise the webpages in a way that works best for them.

The Recite Me toolbar features include:

  • Screen reader
  • Multiple reading aids
  • Live translation feature that has over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech.
  • Styling options – changes to font size, type and colour.

Our families will now be able to translate the pages in their chosen language and with 65 languages being about to read out loud.

 

This means that our websites will be accessible for families for whom English is a second language, those who don’t read English, and those who don’t read at all.

Alongside this, the toolbar will help individuals who may have a disability, learning difficulties or visual impairment as the features will be able to support them by customising the pages as they need, meaning that even more people will be access Derian House information.

 

We will be working on advertising the toolbar, demonstrating on how it works, along with highlighting all its benefits of the toolbar over the coming weeks, so please keep a look out for this.

 

Please start sharing this news with our families and other professions who may wish to refer families to Derian House, as Recite Me will make our website inclusive and a place where people can access information in an easy way.
