Reachdeck accessibility and translation toolbar

The Reachdeck tool translates our website and patient leaflets (while you're viewing the leaflets online) into 100 languages and adds accessibility support such as:

  • text-to-speech functionality
  • text magnification to enlarge text and read it aloud
  • screen masking to allow neurodiverse audiences to reduce distractions, by reading one passage at a time
  • a webpage simplifier to reduce sensory stimulation for people with Autism
  • a picture dictionary to display word meaning through illustration

Reachdeck is available in the top right hand corner of the website. Click on the red 'stickman' icon to open the Reachdeck toolbar:
