Accerciser is an interactive Python accessibility explorer for the GNOME desktop. It uses AT-SPI to inspect and control widgets, allowing you to check if an application is providing correct information to assistive technologies and automated test frameworks. Accerciser has a simple plugin framework which you can use to create custom views of accessibility information.
In essence, Accerciser is a next generation at-poke tool. == Features * ORBit, not cspi, based Like the modern LSR and Orca screen readers, Accerciser uses pyORBit to talk AT-SPI with other applications. The legacy cspi module is avoided. * Plugin architecture Create a Python module, drop it in a folder, and have it load as a plugin pane with full access to AT-SPI and the selected element in the accessibility tree view. * Interface browser and event monitor plugins All the features you've come to expect from a poke tool, and then some. * IPython console plugin A full, interactive Python shell with access to the accessible object selected in the tree view; all AT-SPI interfaces, methods and attributes; and any other Python modules. Supports autocompletion and a million other niceties thanks to IPython. * API browser plugin Shows the interfaces, methods, and attributes available on the selected accessible object. * Global hotkeys Move the tree view quickly to the last focused accessible or the one under the mouse pointer. Insert a marker into the event monitor log for easy identification at a later time. * Customizable UI layout Move plugin tabs to different panels or even separate windows to view them concurrently. * Accessibility! Accerciser does not disable its own accessibility. * Yelp documentation Included in the package. * Python powered Brits, not serpents. == Authors Eitan Isaascon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is responsible for taking a mock-up from Peter Parente ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and turning it into the wonderful, useful tool that it is today. == For more information Visit the Accerciser web site at http://live.gnome.org/Accerciser. _______________________________________________ Gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
