Discover how Prostate Cancer Research empowered its audience with ReadSpeaker. This case study explores the positive impact of accessible technology on patient information.
At Prostate Cancer Research (PCR), the requirement was clear: to ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities or background, could access the vital information they needed about prostate cancer.
They knew their website was a crucial lifeline for many, but also recognized that traditional text-based content might not be suitable for everyone.
Some visitors were older adults, others struggled with visual impairments, and some simply preferred to learn through listening.
PCR’s search for a solution led them to ReadSpeaker, a powerful text-to-speech technology solution.
The integration process was smooth, also thanks to the responsive and dedicated ReadSpeaker team.
As David James, Director of Patient Projects and Influencing a PCR representative put it:
“Our experience with the ReadSpeaker team has been very positive. They’ve always been available when we needed support and were consistently proactive in helping us navigate any challenges. Their responsiveness and dedication really stood out.”
With ReadSpeaker’s online content reader on every page and the PDF reader integrated into their content management system, PCR was ready to empower its audience.
The results were transformative. ReadSpeaker’s widespread usage signaled its success in meeting a genuine need.
“We’ve seen widespread usage of ReadSpeaker, a PCR representative David James noted, which indicates that it’s fulfilling a real need. We’ve also received a lot of positive anecdotal feedback from patients, many of whom are extremely grateful for this added functionality. It’s helping make their experience more accessible and empowering.”
The reading tools, translation and read-aloud options, along with seamless PDF integration broadened PCR’s reach, ensuring inclusivity.
PCR’s journey demonstrates the power of technology and collaboration in breaking down accessibility barriers.
Through ReadSpeaker and the support of their dedicated team, they empowered their audience, providing a voice to everyone seeking critical information about prostate cancer.
