What Recite Me does

Recite Me Limited is a UK-headquartered digital accessibility SaaS company founded in 2009 by CEO Ross Linnett. The company sells an integrated accessibility platform anchored by three core products: the Assistive Toolbar, a browser-embedded overlay providing text-to-speech (65+ voices), translation into 100+ languages, font and colour customisation, screen masking, and reading aids; the Accessibility Checker, an automated scanner running up to 396 separate WCAG 2.2 compliance checks with AI-powered auto-fixes and integrations into Jira and Azure DevOps; and PDF Accessibility Remediation, a seven-stage AI-driven workflow that brings PDFs into compliance with WCAG 2.1/2.2 and PDF/UA (ISO 14289). These are complemented by adjacent modules — Accessibility Auditing & Consultancy, Accessibility Documentation, Accessibility Training, PDF Intercept, and a downloadable Inclusion Toolkit — that convert a software sale into a full compliance programme. The platform is currently active on 12,500+ websites and has supported more than 9.1 million toolbar launches and 60 million pages made accessible across 60-plus countries.

The business monetises primarily through recurring SaaS subscriptions, priced on a quote basis by website traffic, domain count, website type, and contract length (annual or multi-year), with a freemium free-scan funnel and professional services revenue from auditing, training, and documentation. The go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales targeting regulated buyers in retail, government, healthcare, and financial services, supplemented by inside sales for mid-market, self-serve free scans, and event-driven demand generation through GAAD events, webinars, and an Academy Hub content library. Named customers span Coca-Cola, KFC, Tesco, British Gas, NHS trusts, Volkswagen, Gatwick Airport, Odeon, NSPCC, Dunelm, Allwyn UK, and multiple UK local councils, with the company reporting activity across 2,000+ businesses. Operations are based in Gateshead (UK headquarters) with sales coverage in the United States and Australia.

The company is privately held and backed by growth capital investor BGF, which has invested £8.8 million across two rounds (£4.2M in March 2023 and £4.6M in November 2024) to fund international expansion and product development. Earlier funding came from Northstar Ventures in multiple smaller rounds between 2010 and 2016. Headcount stood at approximately 100 employees as of late 2024, with active hiring in sales, customer success, and product through 2024.
