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.

This website is operated by Made Purple Ltd. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. You should be able to:

  • 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

Compliance Status

This website targets full conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA. We actively test and remediate accessibility issues to maintain this standard and are committed to resolving any issues promptly as they are identified.

What We Have Done

  • Skip navigation link to bypass repeated content
  • Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
  • ARIA labels on navigation, menus, form elements and landmark regions
  • Proper semantic HTML: lists, headings, landmarks and form associations
  • Form errors and success messages announced to screen readers
  • Forced-colours fallback so gradient text remains visible in Windows High Contrast Mode
  • Sufficient colour contrast ratios throughout
  • 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
  • Client logo section uses proper list semantics for screen readers
  • Submit button provides clear loading state text

Known Limitations

We are aware of the following areas for improvement:

  • The mobile navigation menu does not fully trap keyboard focus when open
  • Some decorative icons rendered by the UI framework may not consistently carry aria-hidden attributes
  • A light colour mode is not yet available (planned for a future release)

How We Test

  • Manual keyboard navigation testing across all pages
  • Code-level review of ARIA attributes and semantic HTML
  • Browser developer tools accessibility audits
  • Colour contrast verification against WCAG 2.1 AA requirements

We plan to integrate automated accessibility testing (axe-core) into our build process and conduct periodic screen reader testing with NVDA and VoiceOver.
