By implementing the Recite Me tool, we’re working to improve the accessibility of our content and services for West Australians with a disability, who require additional access support. Resources have been dedicated to enhancing our website’s usability and accessibility.
Recite Me Assistive Technology
We’re here for all West Australians impacted by a cancer diagnosis and want to ensure as many people as possible can use and obtain information from our website. To provide additional support to aid a more inclusive user experience we provide the Recite Me assistive technology tool. This toolbar enables website visitors to customise their experience through a range of options, to suit their online accessibility and language needs.
The Recite Me toolbar provides text-to-speech functionality, fully customisable styling features, reading aids and a translation tool with over 100 languages, including 65 text-to-speech voices and many other features.
This means that when the toolbar is activated by the user they can:
- Listen to the website using text to speech functionality.
- Customise background, text and accessibility tool colours.
- Modify the font, line height or spacing of text.
- Zoom in up to 200% without text spilling off the screen.
- The text will reflow in a single column when you change the size of your browser window.
- Navigate the website using just a keyboard.
- Translate the website into a different language.
- Download mp3 files of web page text.
- View website pages in text-only mode.
