Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface

Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface

Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface (AT-SPI) is a toolkit-neutral way of providing accessibility facilities in applications. It was developed by the GNOME project. AT-SPI toolkits provide a logical representation of the content of the application. Helpful assistants like screen readers or magnifiers can then allow disabled persons to browse and interact with the applications.

AT-SPI can also be used for automated testing of user interfaces, with tools such as Linux Desktop Testing Project and Dogtail.

It is currently supported by GTK+ 2, Java/Swing, the Mozilla suite, and StarOffice/OpenOffice.org. Trolltech also announced some support by Qt (KDE's toolkit library).

The Free Standards Group is considering AT-SPI for adoption as a Linux standard. [Free Standards Group, [http://accessibility.freestandards.org/a11yweb/forms/soi.php Statement On Desktop Accessibility Development] (2005-09-25). Accessed 2007-02-06.]
