About Us

Widgit is an educational software provider with over 30 years of success. Our mission is to give people who have difficulty with text the same opportunities as everyone else. This is primarily achieved by our ‘symbolisation’ technology, which translates text into graphical symbols.

Our symbols and software titles are used in a wide range of locations, including thousands of schools, healthcare settings and homes, to support communication, education and understanding.

Our Accessibility Projects involve working with a range of customers across sectors to create professional, easy-to-read versions of content, so they are accessible for people who may have issues accessing text, or for those who don’t speak English as their first language.
