The Royal National Institute of the Blind.
“Initiatives that make the web easier for disabled people to navigate make the web easier for everyone to navigate. Congratulations Word Bank for joining the effort to make the web better for everyone.”

“… Word Bank is easy to use, follows clear and consistent pathways to the information which is crucial for new IT users, people with literacy issues and the many people who lack confidence to navigate around a site and are 'turned off' by jargon or unfamiliar words.”
Peter Lee Grys and Karl Seymour - Directors of Photosymbols
Our work is just one part of making things easier to understand for people - one tool out of many to support people to access things in wider communites. We are always looking for tools to help in our work and enable people to use emerging technologies. Word Bank is one such tool, and one of the best we have come across.”
