To summarize, you are right that the AT page on OOo is outdated, we will fix that soon.
AT that works: ============== Windows, Screen Reader - ZoomText 7.11, 8.12, 9.0 (yes, ZT *is* a screen reader since 7.x!) - JAWS 6.2 Windows, Screen Magnifier - ZoomText 7.11, 8.12, 9.0 Windows, On Screen keyboard - IMHO all, they are quite stupid and just send Windows messages GNOME, Screen Reader - Gnopernicus - Orca soon GNOME, Screen Magnifier - Gnopernicus - Orca will become a Screen Magnifier some time GNOME, On Screen keyboard - GOK - Dasher Java, Resources ================ We can't remove Java usage on Windows, Java Accessibility API is the only available Accessibility API on Windows right now. Windows Vista will change that with UIAutomation. MSAA doesn't help for exposing the document content, so AT would need to use OOo API, which they don't plan to support. We might exchange the Java stuff with a native ATK implementation some time on GNOME, but thats a lot of work to do. ( Any volunteers? ;) ) Accessibility in general ======================== Problem is not technical Accessibility, in Mass they talk about *efficiency*. This is good with MS Office and JAWS because JAWS does special things (scripting) for MS Office and Internet Explorer. They don't plan to do all these things for OOo. We can't do much in OOo for improving this, this is in the hand of AT companies!
