Accessibility and language tools

Introduction

North East London Cancer Alliance has added the Recite Me web accessibility and language toolbar to its website to make it accessible and inclusive for as many people as possible.

It helps the one in five people in the UK who have a disability, including those with common conditions like sight loss and dyslexia, to access North East London Cancer Alliance’s website in the best possible way.

It also helps to meet the needs of our diverse communities across north east London, where English isn’t their first language. The tool is able to translate our web content into over 100 different languages, as well as read aloud the text in 35 of these languages.

How do I access it?

Click on this icon to display the toolbar:

The toolbar will appear in the top of your screen, displaying a range of icons which each represent a different option.

You can make text bigger, translate it into another language, or even have it read to you out loud.

You can change colours, look up the meaning of words and remove images to view pages in text-only mode.
