Purpl have introduced Recite Me accessibility and language tools online to ensure our website visitors can access online content and services barrier-free, in a way that best suits their needs.

Being able to offer an inclusive experience is essential to support over 20% of the population who may encounter barriers when exploring our website due to having a disability, learning difficulty, visual impairment or if they speak English as a second language.

The Recite Me assistive toolbar on the Purpl website includes screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customisable styling options an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech and styling options.  

Accessibility is Essential

Georgina Colman, Founder of Purpl Discounts commented, “Accessibility is essential as our business is all about the disabled community but also because we work with many brands, and we are hoping that we can encourage them to improve their accessibility online. Hence, we must be a role model for showcasing accessibility.”

The internet can be an incredibly intimidating place for those with access barriers, and those lacking the tools they need to adequately understand or communicate are at a significant disadvantage.  

Breaking Down Digital Barriers

Ross Linnett Recite Me’s Founder and CEO commented, “We are thrilled to be working with an organisation that is not only a first-of-its-kind but is on a mission similar to our own, to fight for the disabled community.”

“It is a pleasure to be working with Purpl to break down digital barriers enabling everyone to access discounts on the Purpl website with ease!”

To explore our accessibility support tool, visit the Purpl homepage and click ‘Accessibility Tools’ in the top right of our website.
