At Enable Law we specialise in supporting people going through some of the most difficult times of their lives. Clinical negligence and personal injury cases are inherently sensitive and require clear, concise communication. Those seeking legal advice in such matters are often already dealing with significant emotional distress and may be further challenged by disabilities or learning difficulties. Recognising this, we have integrated our website with Recite Me, a powerful tool that empowers users to access online content in a way that suits their individual needs.

So, what exactly does Recite Me do? This innovative software offers a range of features designed to make websites more accessible. This means for our website visitors a wealth of customisation options at their fingertips, for instance, being able to listen to website content being read aloud, adjusting the reading speed, and even highlighting specific words as they are spoken. For individuals with visual impairments or dyslexia, this feature can be transformative.

The benefits don’t stop there though. The accessibility tool also offers translation services, allowing users to access information in multiple languages. In a diverse society like ours, this is crucial for ensuring that language barriers do not prevent individuals from seeking vital legal advice. Furthermore, the plugin allows users to customise the website’s appearance, changing font sizes, colours, and spacing to improve readability. For some, these adjustments can make all the difference in comprehending complex legal information.

Why is this important?

People needing our services are going through some of the hardest times of their lives. At Enable Law we strive to make people’s lives better but to do that we first need to enable them to understand what we do and how we can help them. Access to justice should be available to everyone, regardless of their individual circumstances. By removing barriers to information, we are not only making our services more accessible but also fostering a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

Rob Antrobus, Head of Enable Law said “In a world increasingly reliant on digital communication, ensuring accessibility is not just a matter of best practice, it’s a fundamental responsibility. By embracing assistive technologies like Recite Me, we can create a more equitable and inclusive experience for everyone, ensuring that vital information and services are within reach for all who need them. Our commitment to accessibility is testament to our dedication to serving our clients with compassion and understanding, proving that access to justice should be a right, not a privilege.”
