Empowering Diverse Workforces

The public sector workforce is one of the most diverse in the country. Staff come from every background, speak dozens of languages and bring a wide range of abilities and experiences to their roles. That diversity is a strength. Administrative burden should never be the thing that holds people back.

Purple Scribe was built for these people. Staff who use English as a second language and find written articulation of complex sessions challenging. Staff with dyslexia, motor impairments or other conditions that make extended typing difficult. Staff who struggle to translate an excellent conversation into an excellent write-up. Staff who simply want to be fully present with the person in front of them rather than distracted by note-taking.

Purple Scribe empowers all of these people to do more of what they love: talk, assess, support and help people. It acts as their trusted note-taking and write-up assistant, delivering excellent documentation from their excellent sessions. The quality of the output reflects the quality of the conversation, not the writing confidence of the author.

For us, accessibility is not an afterthought or a compliance checkbox. It is fundamental to our mission and the reason our product exists.

Purple Scribe as an Accessibility Tool

Beyond the traditional definition of accessibility, Purple Scribe removes barriers that affect a significant proportion of the public sector workforce:

  • Staff who use English as a second language: no need to translate thoughts into written English under time pressure. Speak naturally in the session and let Purple Scribe produce the documentation
  • Staff with dyslexia or literacy challenges: the write-up is generated from speech, removing the barrier of extended written composition entirely. The Purple Scribe application also provides dyslexia-friendly fonts and colour options so staff can work in a way that suits them
  • Staff with motor impairments: reduced need for extended keyboard or handwriting. One tap to record, one tap to upload
  • Staff with cognitive load challenges: no need to split attention between listening and note-taking. Be fully present in the conversation
  • Staff who lack confidence in written expression: consistent, high-quality documentation regardless of writing ability. The output reflects the session, not the author's writing style
  • Staff under time pressure: a three-hour meeting no longer requires ten hours of write-up. Staff spend their time helping people, not writing about helping people

Integrated Accessibility at Scale

Purple Scribe powers IEG4's AI Transcribe service, bringing accessible transcription directly into Continuing Healthcare workflows. This integrated approach means staff working within IEG4's CHC platform benefit from Purple Scribe's accessibility features without leaving their existing workflow.

When accessibility is built into the tools staff already use, adoption happens naturally. Staff do not need to learn a new system or change how they work. They simply speak, and the documentation is produced for them.

About This Website

This accessibility statement applies to the Purple Scribe marketing website at www.purple-scribe.com, operated by Made Purple Ltd. It does not cover the Purple Scribe application itself, which has its own accessibility features.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. You should be able to:

  • Choose between a light and dark colour theme using the toggle in the site header. Your first visit follows your operating system preference and any manual choice is remembered on this device
  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or operating system settings
  • Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • Navigate the entire website using just a keyboard
  • Navigate the website using a screen reader
  • Skip to the main content using a skip navigation link
  • Find any page in at least two ways: through the site navigation or the sitemap

Conformance Status

This website is built to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

In August 2026 every page of this website was audited with automated WCAG 2.2 testing in both colour themes. All issues identified were fixed and a follow-up scan found no violations. We believe the website conforms to WCAG 2.2 AA, and we are completing manual assistive technology testing to verify this beyond what automated tools can check.

What We Have Done

  • Skip navigation link to bypass repeated content
  • Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
  • Proper semantic HTML: lists, headings, landmarks and form associations
  • Every form field has a visible, programmatically associated label
  • Form errors and success messages announced to screen readers
  • Links and buttons whose accessible names match their visible text
  • Consistent labels for the same destination across navigation and footer
  • Forced-colours fallback so gradient text remains visible in Windows High Contrast Mode
  • Light and dark colour themes, each meeting WCAG AA contrast requirements, with the choice remembered between visits
  • Correct language attribute (en-GB) for British English screen reader pronunciation
  • Keyboard-accessible navigation with Escape to close menus and focus restoration
  • Reduced motion support for users who prefer less animation
  • Step indicators use numbers alongside colour so they are distinguishable without colour vision
  • A sitemap page so every page can be found in more than one way

How We Test

  • Automated axe-core audits of every page in both colour themes, most recently in August 2026
  • A full automated WCAG 2.2 scan of the live website in August 2026, with all findings remediated and verified by a clean re-scan
  • Manual keyboard navigation testing across all pages
  • Code-level review of ARIA attributes and semantic HTML
  • Colour contrast verification in both themes against WCAG AA requirements

Manual screen reader testing with VoiceOver and NVDA, along with Windows High Contrast Mode checks, is scheduled as part of our ongoing testing programme.

Known Limitations

We are aware of the following areas for improvement. We do not believe these are WCAG 2.2 AA failures, but we are working on them as good practice:

  • The mobile navigation menu does not trap keyboard focus while open, although it can be closed with the Escape key and focus is returned to the menu button
  • Some decorative icons rendered by the UI framework may not consistently carry aria-hidden attributes
  • Manual assistive technology testing is still in progress, so issues that automated tools cannot detect may remain

Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of this website and the Purple Scribe product. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us:

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 working days.

Our Approach to the Accessibility Regulations

Made Purple Ltd is a private company, so the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 do not directly apply to this website. Our customers are public sector bodies who are held to that standard, so we choose to hold ourselves to it too.

If you have raised an accessibility concern with us and are not happy with our response, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS), which provides advice on the Equality Act 2010.

Preparation and Review

This statement was first prepared on 22 March 2026 and last reviewed on 16 August 2026 following a full WCAG 2.2 audit and remediation of the website. It is reviewed quarterly, or whenever significant changes are made to the website. The next scheduled review is November 2026.
