"I have worked as a lawyer across 3 different law firms over the past 8 years. Time recording, case management and other specialised systems have always been of critical importance to my day-to-day activities. Unfortunately, these software packages are becoming increasingly difficult to access without bespoke scripts and training. Blazie has always been the first company I call.
They have deep knowledge of the legal sector and have never failed to improve the accessibility of every piece of software they came into contact with, from packages used by the biggest international companies to simple applications coded by the firm in-house. Their scripts and training enable me to do my work quickly, efficiently and profitably. Blazie has always been professional, friendly and respectful of the legal and technical constraints we work under, and I have unhesitatingly recommended them to many others over the years."
Matthew Johnson, In-House Privacy Lawyer at Pinsent Masons LLP
"I have been working closely with Blazie (and Terry Clarke) since mid-2021, during which time have conducted several Accessibility Audits on our behalf of the Apollo Programme. Blazie have been key to us delivering a number of successful releases on time and to desired quality, more often than not in very challenging circumstances.
More than anything, their ability to flex and re-prioritise their workload to accommodate and deliver on our requirements at very short notice, has been extremely helpful and is a determining factor in us returning to Blazie release after release to support our testing.
On a personal level, Terry's expertise and guidance have helped me and the wider programme team understand the significance of compliance and the benefits of robust Accessibility testing. In summary, the level of service from the point of engagement on each release through to the quality of reports has been exceptional and enables us to plan and engage with Blazie in confidence."
Alan Woods, Quality Manager for Retail Digital X at NatWest
"I have been working with Blazie for over 20 years during which time they have provided both training, and more importantly, scripting of Jaws to make applications work (better). My main contact has been Terry Clarke. There have been a lot of applications that either weren't accessible at all, or partially accessible.
Terry has found ways to make these accessible through custom scripts. Often when things seem impossible, he will find a solution to make applications useable. Terry is also calm and patient when training and explaining things to users, and he is able to understand problems from the user's point of view and tailor his explanations and solutions accordingly. Often he has gone above and beyond to leave me with a useable way of working, until the problem can be more fully fixed."

"I have been collaborating with Blazie and Terry Clarke for nearly 20 years. What has impressed me over these two decades is their unwavering commitment to simplifying my job as much as possible. My role can be fast-paced, and the technology I utilise is often specialised. Consequently, making it accessible often necessitates a degree of customisation to accommodate someone who is blind like myself. This is not always straightforward, as software developers, regrettably, do not always prioritise accessibility. This is where individuals like Terry and Blazie step in. I am unsure how I would have managed to work in the media industry without their invaluable input."
Ian Hamilton, Reporter and Presenter at BBC Scotland
"I began working with Blazie in 2018 when I started my legal career. As a JAWS and Braille user, I encountered significant challenges accessing key applications essential to my role. Blazie not only set up my JAWS speech software but also provided crucial digital accessibility solutions, enabling me to work independently and efficiently. Their expertise has made a substantial difference in my ability to perform my job with ease. Blazie's deep knowledge of Microsoft products and the specific applications used within the legal industry has proven invaluable. I've relied on them both when applications changed internally and during transitions to new employers. I highly recommend Blazie to any JAWS users needing bespoke application support to perform their role effectively."
