About Texthelp

What does Texthelp do?

Everyone thinks, understands and expresses themselves in their own way. When employees are empowered to be themselves, they’re more confident and more likely to succeed. Texthelp provides software, such as Read&Write for Work that lets employees achieve in their own preferred way.

Assistive technology supports businesses to create an inclusive working environment. It gives employees the freedom to consume information in the way that suits them best. For example, they can choose to hear text documents read out loud. It also enables employees to finish tasks in the way they feel most confident. For example, they can choose to speak rather than type information, and watch as the words appear on screen.

With assistive technology, businesses can support all their people to work with more confidence, accuracy and efficiency.

“Read&Write literally changed my working life for the better! My productivity went through the roof. I just felt less stressed” – Taljinder Duggal, Dyslexic & Dyspraxic Read&Write user.

How does Texthelp support businesses and their audiences?

Understanding and being understood is vital for all of us. For some, how they communicate isn’t through personal choice, but a result of personal needs. As an organisation, it’s important that the information you share can be understood by everyone. Texthelp provides software, such as ReachDeck, that helps businesses improve the accessibility, readability and reach of digital content.

Websites should meet accessibility standards, so that people with sensory and motor disabilities can access content easily. Content should be easy to read and understand, so that those with cognitive, literacy or language challenges can use it. ReachDeck provides businesses with the tools to communicate more inclusively with all audiences. From employees and prospective candidates, to current and potential future customers.

What motivates Texthelp to make a difference?

Texthelp believes in a world where difference, disability or language are no longer barriers. Their Founder has been on a personal mission to make a difference since he was 12 years old. It was then that he learned about the barriers that can exist in the world.

Today, they strive to help every organisation drive diversity and inclusion, in the workplace and beyond. For them, technology offers a powerful tool. By sharing their expertise, they know that together we can truly make a difference.
