Hi Bob, at-spi2-atk is the communication bridge between an application that implements ATK (an accessibility framework) and an accessibility tool, like an screen reader. For example, GTK implements ATK, so thanks to at-spi2-atk, any application written in GTK, like Gedit, is accessible through Orca, an screen reader. So, if you want your ATK-compliant to be accessible, you need that module. Having said so, take into account that KDE doesn't implement ATK. They have their own accessibility framework, and there are an equivalent bridge, called at-spi2-qt. Thanks to it, the accessibility support of several qt apps are improving, and are being possible to be accessed by Orca. So if you want to use Qt applications with Orca screen reader, you would need that module. I hope have been clear enough Best regards On 2013-05-12 19:28, Bob Stia wrote: > On Monday 15 April 2013 14:07:36 Mike Gorse wrote: >> At-spi2-atk 2.8.1 is now available for download at: >> >> http://download.gnome.org/sources/at-spi2-atk/2.8 >> >>Hello List, I have advanced macular degeneration and am legally >> blind.
