Staunton City introduces ‘Recite Me’ technology to enhance accessibility

The City of Staunton has recently introduced new technology called “Recite Me” on its website to assist individuals with disabilities or those who may not speak English fluently. This application allows users to customize their experience on the website by changing the font size, using a magnifying glass, and translating the content into different languages. AnhThu Nguyen, chair of Staunton’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commission, highlighted the importance of making information accessible to all residents, regardless of their abilities or language proficiency. The implementation of this technology aims to ensure that everyone in the community can easily access and understand the resources available on the website. Users can access the “Recite Me” program through an icon located at the bottom left of the website, providing a convenient way to adjust the website’s accessibility features. This initiative reflects the city’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and equity among its residents. For more information or to access the “Recite Me” technology, visit the City of Staunton’s website.
