A voice option for forms

Make forms easier to complete.

VoiceForms helps people who find reading, typing or navigating forms difficult. Questions can be read aloud and answered by speaking.

See how VoiceForms works

A conversation that completes the form for you.

The questions are read aloud. The person answers by speaking. Their answers appear automatically in the form.

Why a voice option helps

For people completing forms

Another way to answer.

  • Hear questions spoken aloud
  • Answer by speaking, one question at a time
  • Review and correct answers
  • May help people complete forms more independently

For organisations

Help people reach your services.

  • Offer another way to access and complete forms
  • Make existing form journeys easier for some users
  • May reduce the need for staff-assisted completion

Who it's for

For the people your services support.

For charities, councils and support organisations helping people who find conventional forms difficult to use.

That can include people with sight loss, physical disabilities, dyslexia or learning difficulties, as well as anyone who struggles with complex digital forms.

Voice is an additional option alongside accessible forms. It will suit some people and situations; others will need a different way to take part.

How it works for organisations

Start with one form.

01

Show us your form

Tell us who uses it and where they need help. We can discuss whether a voice option could be useful.

02

Scope a small pilot

Agree the questions, how answers would reach your team, and the integration and data-handling requirements.

03

Test with your users

Plan how people will try the voice option, review their answers and share feedback before deciding on next steps.

The setup will depend on your form and systems. A pilot can help establish what works for your users.
