London, 13th October 2011
Leading multi-language text to speech provider ROKTalk, part of mobile and
web technology development company ROK Global PLC, has partnered with
Diversityjobs.co.uk, the UK's largest Diversity and Inclusivity-focused
careers website, to deliver ROKTalk, designed to dramatically enhance the
accessibility and usability of websites, to new customers.
'We developed ROKTalk not just as a very useful and worthwhile business
tool for all website owners but also because there is a clear moral
obligation and, under the Equalities Act in the UK and the Americans with
Disabilities Act in the US, an increasing requirement for organisations to
ensure their websites are as accessible as possible for all people,
regardless of their abilities.' Said Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman and CEO of
ROK Global.
DiversityJobs.co.uk has already begun deploying ROKTalk to organisations
such as the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the
Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and is currently integrating
the service onto Barclays Bank, The Association of Professional Staffing
Companies (APSCo) and the Employers Forum on Disability (EFD) websites.
Managing Director of DiversityJobs, Morgan Lobb, said 'We chose ROKTalk for
our clients because it is the very best text to speech solution available
to provide accessibility requirements for website owners, a requirement
which 75% of FTSE 100 businesses have so far failed to address.'
ROK Global PLC, listed on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange,
was co-founded by US Billionaire John Paul DeJoria, the co-founder of Paul
Mitchell hair care systems and Patron Tequila and UK serial technology
entrepreneur, Jonathan Kendrick.
In addition to ROKTalk, ROK has pioneered the development of several
innovative mobile and web technologies including high quality Mobile TV
which streams video over mass-market 2.5G GPRS as well as 3G and Wi-Fi and
mobile-phone security and policing software which it licenses to law
enforcement agencies.
'Our clients want to comply with accessibility requirements and they demand
the most effective technology in terms of speed to delivery and usability.
No other product, apart from ROKTalk, provides barrier-free text to speech
across many languages with adjustable contrast and font size changes in
one, simple-to-install, package.' Added Lobb.
