Hi, Yeah, they are not too clear on the specific graphics toolkits etc they are using with this thing. My guess is given that it is a cross-platform IDE they are using a generic graphics toolkit like WX Widgets which is somewhat accessible, but when it comes to screen reading technology and maximum accessibility it is always better to use a native graphics toolkit for the OS. For Windows that is the Windows API, for Linux GTK+, and on Mac OS that would be Cocoa. Right now Orca, the Linux screen reader, has mixed results with WX based applications. Something like Audacity works, but isn't accessible as it could be just because it doesn't use GTK+ etc like it should for maximum accessibility. I would think we would encounter something similar with an app like Real Basic which is in all likelyhood not developed with accessibility in mind.
