44 <title>Overview</title>
46 GNOME provides support for accessibility devices using the ATK
47 framework. This framework defines a set of interfaces to which
48 graphical interface components adhere. This allows, for instance,
49 screen readers to read the text of an interface and interact with its
50 controls. ATK support is built into GTK+ and the rest of the GNOME
51 platform, so any application using GTK+ will have reasonable
52 accessibility support for free.
56 Nonetheless, you should be aware of accessibility issues when when
57 developing your applications. Although GTK+ interfaces provide
58 reasonable accessibility by default, you can often improve how well
59 your program behaves with accessibility tools by providing additional
60 information to ATK. If you develop custom widgets, you should ensure
61 that they expose their properties to ATK
