Accessible Communication

Give every customer a comfortable way to connect.

Offer a written option for customers who prefer text or find phone calls difficult. Website Widgets and direct SMS let people ask at their own pace, including customers with hearing or speech difficulties.

Illustrative conversation

Harbor Health Clinic

Customer

Is there step free access to reception?

Harbor Health AI

Yes. Use the ramp beside the main entrance. The reception desk is directly inside on the left.

In practice

Make the next step easier to understand.

A customer who cannot comfortably use a voice call texts to ask whether a repair location has step free access. They can read the answer, consider it and continue the conversation without pressure.

Provide a written alternative

Give customers another practical route when a phone conversation is not comfortable or suitable.

Let people respond at their pace

A text conversation gives customers time to read, compose and review their messages.

Keep communication clear

Written answers and conversation history reduce the need to remember every detail from a call.
