Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar
We have added the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar to our website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.
It helps one in five people in the UK who have a disability, including those with common conditions like sight loss and dyslexia, to access our website in the way that suits them best.
It also meets the needs of one in ten people in the UK who don’t speak English as their first language, by being able to translate our web content into over 100 different languages.
How do I access the Recite Me toolbar?
You can open the Recite Me language and accessibility toolbar by clicking on the ‘Recite Me' link at the top left of your screen (on both desktop and mobile view), which now appears on every page of our website.
The Recite Me toolbar opens and displays a range of different options for customising how the website looks and how you can access the content.
How does Recite Me help me access this website?
Recite Me helps people to access our website to do the things they need to do, like find information about how to access our services, for example, apply for benefits or book a special uplift or make payments.
The Recite Me toolbar has a unique range of functions. You can use it to:
- Have the text on our website read aloud (including most downloads)
- Download the text as an MP3 file to play it where and when it suits you
- Change font sizes and colours
- Customise background colour
- Translate text into more than 100 different languages
- Access a fully integrated dictionary and thesaurus
