  • 1.  Reciteme or other assistive toolbars

    Posted 09-24-2025 11:51

    Hi there folks!   I am curious if any states have the Reciteme toolbar or any other similar accessibility tools for their websites and more importantly do they work with your maps?  Accessibility Toolbar | Assistive Tools for your Website

    Airport Accessibility | Nashville International Airport has it implemented, but it does not work with the map.

    Thanks!

    We were told not to use tools like these since they can be confusing and actually hinder someone's experience (another source on it). Most people with disabilities block them. I've also read they don't work often with embedded content (and I doubt with maps) since you have to install a script on the website. It could be different for this one, though.
