Recite Me

15/06/2026

This Learning Disability Week, started by Mencap, of course we're banging the drum for making digital information accessible to everyone.

Did you know Recite Me was founded because our CEO, Ross Linnett, struggled to access digital information due to his dyslexia?

Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that can affect reading, writing and spelling. Challenges with word recognition, font choice, text size and colour contrast can all make digital content harder to access. Many people with dyslexia may also experience difficulties with organisation, concentration and time management.

Yet dyslexia is no barrier to success. Some of the world's most recognised innovators and thinkers, including Sir Richard Branson, Agatha Christie and Albert Einstein, are widely associated with dyslexia, highlighting the incredible strengths, creativity and problem-solving abilities many dyslexic people bring.

We're committed to removing digital barriers and helping everyone access online content in the way that works best for them.

If your customers or clients are in the EU, the European Accessibility Act isn't something you can afford to ignore.

One year on from implementation, what has actually changed? Are organisations making meaningful progress, or are accessibility barriers still preventing people from accessing digital services?

Join our webinar with Chris Holloway, Head of Accessibility, and John Abbott, Head of Product, as they explore:

- What we've learned from a year of EAA enforcement
- Common accessibility gaps still affecting organisations
- What documented action looks like in practice
- How to build and evidence accessibility progress

We're proud to launch Focus Audio, a new feature within the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar inspired by a collaboration with students from The Orpheus Centre.

As part of a series of product development workshops, students worked alongside our team to explore how digital products are designed and developed. Through sharing their experiences of focus, concentration and reading online, they helped shape an idea that has now become a live feature.

The project demonstrates the value of involving people with lived experience in the development of accessibility solutions and highlights how collaboration can drive meaningful innovation.

Thank you to the students and staff at Orpheus Centre for helping bring Focus Audio to life.

We're proud to support our long-standing partners at Dyslexia Scotland as it launches its crowdfunder to bring the world's first Dyslexia-Friendly Scotland tartan to life. 💙

Designed in partnership with world-renowned weavers Lochcarron of Scotland, the tartan has been created to represent the hundreds of thousands of people with dyslexia across Scotland, alongside the educators, employers, families and changemakers helping to build a more inclusive society.

The design is officially registered and the next step is funding the very first weave. The campaign aims to raise £5,000 to make that happen.

At Recite Me, we believe visibility matters. Representation matters. And creating a world where people with dyslexia can participate fully and confidently matters.

Great to have Graeme in our UK HQ this week all the way from Down Under.

Graeme has been leading our Australia and New Zealand office for just over five years. In that time, he's helped a huge number of organisations to make their digital spaces more inclusive including AusNet, Domestic Violence NSW, City of Bayswater and Monte Cecilia Housing Trust in the last year alone.

Good to see ya, mate 🐨

AGAR Assertion 10 is new for 2026, and parish and town councils had to complete it for the first time this year.

But what does it actually mean?

The new assertion focuses on website accessibility and whether councils are meeting accessibility requirements, including publishing key information in an accessible way.

For many councils, it raises questions around accessibility statements, PDFs, WCAG compliance, and ongoing accessibility management.

We’ve broken down what AGAR Assertion 10 is, why it matters, and what councils should consider: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vHQcJ0

The Recite Me team has had a great day at the Document Accessibility in the Public Sector (DAPS) Conference hosted at Microsoft’s Paddington office.

The conversations throughout the day reflected the reality many public sector teams are navigating is they work to balance growing accessibility expectations with the practical challenges of improving documents, systems and processes at scale.

Really valuable to hear honest discussions, practical advice and shared experiences from across the accessibility community.

For any further questions, our expert team will be happy to help.

To help us mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Annie from Minster Law Solicitors shared how digital inclusion and discussions about accessibility are becoming part of everyday conversations across their organisation.

Minster Law recognised the importance of starting somewhere and that making progress is better than perfection.

Accessibility is not about perfection from day one. It is about creating more inclusive digital experiences step by step and building awareness into everyday decision-making.

Thank you to the team at Minster Law for supporting a more inclusive digital experience for everyone.
