Hi Kyle,

although Maliit is a really mature and featured on-screen-keyboard, it
seems that their developers doesn't have in his TODO accessibility
features. From here:

http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2011/11/16/maliit-the-only-real-on-screen-keyboard/

"Note that Maliit is not trying to be an on-screen keyboard for
accessibility."

And you can also see my questions (my nickname is API) on the responses
section in relation with their plans in relation to Accessibility.
