Not much help maybe - but here is a link to the API's that could be implemented:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_reader#Accessibility_APIs And a free Apple based tool for testing? - http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Accessibility/Conceptual/AccessibilityMacOSX/OSXAXTesting/chapter_5_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001078-CH210-DontLinkElementID_48 My guess is that this would all be much harder than making the app - "self-voicing": Self-voicing applications > > Some programs speak or make other sounds so that they can be used by blind > people or people who cannot see the screen. These programs are termed > self-voicing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-voicing> and can be a form > of assistive technology<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistive_technology>if > they are designed to remove the need to use a screen reader. > 2008/5/5 Tereza Snyder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hiya all, > > Does anyone know (spare me the testing!) whether apps made with RunRev > using ordinary controls are accessible to screen readers out of the box?
