ESC Stand Up and Speak Out for Accessibility to Me Week 2023

In today’s increasingly digital world, East Sussex College ‘Stands Up and Speaks Out’ for unity. The world is interconnected, with content accessible at the click of a button - it’s a collective responsibility to champion digital inclusion.

The 13th-17th of November 2023 marks Recite Me’s Accessibility To Me Awareness Week, an opportunity to celebrate accessibility and share with others how to champion inclusion.

This year’s theme is ‘Stand Up, Speak Out’, where businesses across the globe are sharing what accessibility means to them and how they are being inclusive. East Sussex College believes that everyone should have access to a voice and a place in our interconnected society.

With the help of Recite Me assistive technology, the College provides a unique and customisable user experience on escg.ac.uk and on mystudentlife.co.uk. You can choose from a range of tools including, text-to-speech functionality, customisable styling options, reading aids and a translation tool that boasts over 100 languages, including 65 text-to-speech voices.

With over 1 billion people worldwide who live with some form of disability or impairment, it is vital that inclusivity is prioritised. Together with Recite Me, ESC is on a mission to create an inclusive digital world. In total Recite Me is used on over 5,000 websites and the College is thrilled to embark on this journey with them.

Accessibility is important to ESC as it provides all users with equal access and opportunities, regardless of their individual circumstances. The College is committed to online accessibility and this can be achieved with the use of the Recite Me Accessibility Checker and Assistive Toolbar.
