Our People

Our Texthelpers come together as a global team and are passionate about the meaningful work that they do. We’ve created a unique culture, living and working by a set of values that guide both the way we behave and how we create our innovative technology. There’s something special about realizing the impact you can have on the world!

Our Story

It all started back in 1996 and we’ve been on an epic ride ever since! For us it’s personal. Our CEO, Martin McKay started the business after seeing his father struggling to communicate following a severe stroke. At that time, there wasn’t much around in the way of assistive technology, so Martin decided to take matters into his own hands and do something about it.

Our mission for the last 20 years has been to create technologies that can help people read, write and research with confidence.  Whether at school, college or work we want everyone to reach their full potential.

Working alongside technology partners like Google and Microsoft, our award-winning suite of products - Read&Write, Equatio, Fluency Tutor, ReachDeck, WriQ, and Speechstream - have changed the lives of millions worldwide.

Accessibility is at the heart of everything we do

Accessibility is at the heart of our whole organisation and all our products. Our core purpose is to help people understand and be understood. 

We hold ourselves to very high standards. Whilst we already work hard to produce information that can be understood by everyone, we know there will always room for improvement. We have a plan to get to where we need to be and we want to share it with you.

I was thrilled to find how personalised you could make it, our students are able to make it their own and have the software adapt to them, not the other way round.

Over 200 million people have used our products and technology so far

Our software is easy to use and available on all major platforms, allowing everyone to express themselves with confidence.

That’s why we take pride in continuing to develop and improve what we do and how we do it. At Texthelp, we’re all about connecting people.

From the classroom to the boardroom and beyond....
