Awin implements website accessibility tool in US and Canada

Written by 2 minute read

We’re proud to announce the implementation of cloud-based web accessibility assistive toolbar solution Recite Me across Awin’s North American websites.

Approximately one billion people globally have a disability and they can often face barriers when visiting inaccessible websites that may inhibit them from taking an active part on site. With the coronavirus pandemic transitioning the majority of individuals around the world to a predominately digital living environment - whether that be for work, school, socializing or spending – it’s become more important than ever for companies to ease any obstacles their website users may face as our lives only became further engrained in and dependent upon the worldwide web.

Awin was thrilled to discover Recite Me’s award-winning innovative assistive technology in its search to make Awin.com more accessible and inclusive, solving many challenges faced by those who have a disability. Found in the upper right-hand corner of our website in the orange ‘Accessibility Tools’ button, this easy to use software includes text-to-speech functionality (including 35 text-to-speech voices), fully-customizable styling features, reading aids and a translation tool with over 100 languages, and more. Furthermore, Recite Me works across all device types, affording all of our website visitors easy navigation of Awin.com and the content, features and functionality it provides.

Alexandra Forsch, President of Awin US: “At Awin and ShareASale, diversity and inclusion is not an initiative but core to who we are as a company and how we run our business operations. Recite Me allows us to ensure an inclusive online environment and positive user experience for all of our partners and employees visiting Awin.com. We couldn’t be more excited to also introduce such a powerful web accessibility tool to our partners during these dynamic times.”

Ross Linnett, CEO & Founder of Recite Me: “Making your website welcoming and easy to use for all customers is key to creating the perfect online experience. Recite Me is proud to partner with Awin to lead the way in creating accessible and unbeatable website experiences for North American individuals with disabilities, learning difficulties, and visual impairments, as well as for those who speak English as a second language.“

We hope our Awin and ShareASale partners consider Recite Me’s innovative assistive technology solution as part of their larger inclusion and diversity efforts. As such, we’re thrilled to offer our clients an exclusive 40% discount on an annual Recite Me membership now through September 30, with introductory pricing as low as $1995 per year for publishers and small businesses.
