Wounds Australia enhances accessibility with new Recite Me assistive toolbar features
Thursday, 23 July 2026

Visitors to the Wounds Australia and Be Wound Aware websites can now enjoy an even more personalised browsing experience, thanks to a new feature automatically added to the Recite Me accessibility toolbar.

Smart Suggest is the latest enhancement from Recite Me. It provides tailored recommendations based on the content of each webpage, helping users discover accessibility tools that may make information easier to read, navigate or understand.

Accessibility without assumptions

Unlike accessibility tools that ask users to choose a predefined profile or identify with a particular condition, Smart Suggest responds to the content being viewed rather than making assumptions about the user.

For example, it may recommend text-to-speech for longer articles, reading aids for information-rich pages or adjustments to text size and spacing to improve readability. Users remain in complete control, choosing whether to accept, ignore or dismiss each suggestion.

Supporting better access to wound care information

Accessibility remains a priority for Wounds Australia, particularly as many people living with chronic wounds may experience vision impairment, low literacy, cognitive differences or speak English as an additional language.

Wounds Australia CEO Jeff Antcliff welcomed the latest enhancement to the Recite Me toolbar.

"Accessible health information empowers people to take an active role in their care," Mr Antcliff said. "We're pleased to see Recite Me continue to develop features that make it even easier for visitors to discover the accessibility options available to them and access information in the way that works best for them."

The new feature builds on the existing Recite Me toolbar, which already enables users to customise fonts, colours and text size, access text-to-speech functionality, use reading aids and translate website content into more than 100 languages.
