AI-enabled Easy Read service
We'll help you create high-quality Easy Read materials by combining responsible AI, accessibility expertise, and hands-on support.
The challenge
Creating Easy Read content is essential, but it's rarely easy.
Easy Reads are vital for 25% of the UK population, supporting everyone from those with cognitive impairments, low to no literacy, to non-native English speakers. Yet producing them takes time, specialist skills and careful testing.
Many charities and public sector organisations struggle to keep up with demand because documents need to be:
- rewritten into clear, accessible language
- supported with appropriate imagery
- reviewed by subject experts
- tested with people who have lived experience
- kept up to date as information changes
The result is that important information can take days to produce, making it difficult to deliver accessible communication consistently and at scale.
How the Easy Reads service works
We start with an existing document or webpage and the service creates a draft Easy Read version using AI.
AI rewrites content into clearer language, checks it against recognised Easy Read principles and suggests appropriate illustrations before preparing everything for human review.
Your team stays in control throughout the process, refining, testing and approving every Easy Read before publication.
As you use the service, approved content and illustrations become reusable libraries that make future Easy Read production faster, more consistent and more cost-effective.
