Adapt4you presents SpeechCode in Portugal

Andreia Matos’ agency Adapt4you offers a variety of accessible and inclusive services, from consulting for communities to educational games, which are easy to purchase in the Adapt4you online shop.

Focusing on inclusive communication and IT, Andreia felt that SpeechCode was a great match for her activities.
Offering information for more than one sensory channel is already a must for certain products and services.
And it makes sense for everyone to provide information in text AND speech.
It’s more convenient for any customers, who have difficulty reading text. This extra comfort increases marketing reach!

Certified Partner for SpeechCode in Portugal

That’s why Adapt4you became a member of SpeechCodes network of certified partners in January 2021.
Since then Andreia Matos used the period of Corona lockdowns and restrictions to create supportive materials in Portuguese and to spread the word about SpeechCode in Portugal.

First public event on July 17, 2021

Adapt4you cooperated with Plural&Singular, a Portuguese magazine about disability and inclusion. On 17th July the magazine organised an event in the beautiful historic city of Guimarães. There they presented the winning photos of their photo contest.

For the day-long event, Andreia Matos contributed printed Speech Codes and NFC Speech Tags to make restaurant menues and explanatory posters of points of interest and the exhibition accessible to people with visual impairments.

Lots of interest in the inclusive information technology SpeechCode

Great feedback

Andreia Matos is very pleased with the launch of SpeechCode in Portugal: “The event was great and people liked SpeechCode. I’m very happy with the interest it generated among visitors, press and official bodies!”
