Hi Janina One question? 1. Is apple planning in the future to introduce alternative solutions for those developers who aren't going to use the Accessibility objects of the Apple development environment? If not, then the product is going to be limited to applications that follow Apples Accessibility specs. This could be very limiting in the long term. I will say that they have taken the right approach, that is including the accessibility as part of the develpment environment, instead of the MSAA approach.

Once again, the voice interface Apple is building relies on applications using the Apple developer tools according to spec. Where they go off spec, those apps will not be accessible. Here's the headline, X is not developed with that toolkit. > > Do you understand this yet? > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > > >
